12月12日 carrot, egg or coffee...a friend send me a mail...i feel this story is meaningful so share at here...
A young woman went to her mother and told her about her life and how things were so hard for her. She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved, a new one arose. Her mother took her to the kitchen. She filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to boil. In the first she placed carrots, in the second she placed eggs, and in the last she placed ground coffee beans. She let them sit and boil,without saying a word. In about twenty minutes she turned off the burners. She fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. She pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. Then she ladled the coffee out and placed it in a bowl. Turning to her daughter, she asked, "Tell me what you see." "Carrots, eggs, and coffee," she replied. Her mother brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft. The mother then asked the daughter to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg. Finally, the mother asked the daughter to sip the coffee. The daughter smiled as she tasted its rich aroma. The daughter then asked, "What does it mean, mother?" Her mother explained that each of these objects had faced the same adversity - boiling water. Each reacted differently. The carrot went in strong, hard, and unrelenting. However, after being subjected to the boiling water, it softened and became weak. The egg had been fragile. Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior, but after sitting through the boiling water, its inside became hardened. The ground coffee beans were unique, however. After they were in the boiling water, they had changed the water. "Which are you?" she asked her daughter. "When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean?" Think of this: Which am I? Am I the carrot that seems strong, but with pain and adversity do I wilt and become soft and lose my strength? Am I the egg that starts with a malleable heart, but changes with the heat? Did I have a fluid spirit, but after a death, a breakup, a financial hardship or some other trial, have I become hardened and stiff? Does my shell look the same, but on the inside am I bitter and tough with a stiff spirit and hardened heart? Or am I like the coffee bean? The bean actually changes the hot water, the very circumstance that brings the pain. When the water gets hot, It releases the fragrance and flavor. If you are like the bean, when things are at their worst, you get better and change the situation around you. When the hour is the darkest and trials are their greatest, do you elevate yourself to another level? How do you handle adversity? Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean? May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human and enough hope to make you happy. The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; They just make the most of everything that comes along their way. The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past; you can't go forward in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches 无题这两天,我真的很累很累.
心里的担心,对你似乎是多余.
不知道是你病得糊理糊涂才会这样还是你有心事闷着不说.
告诉你的东西到了你耳朵,好像变成另一个意思.
你要告诉我的东西也让我误解成其他的意思.
真的快把我给搞垮了.我说话也变得语无伦次了.
脾气也开始烦躁起来.心情变得有点沮丧空虚.
这几天你另类的对待是无心还是有意,我不敢多想.
我担心的问题好像开始浮现了.不知道你有看到吗?
这我不敢告诉你,因为担心会增加你的烦恼.
连日的通电都是很表面的结束了.
只要说到一半听不懂你就说算了吧....
你这样的做法真的让我很困扰.
朋友,你不是说该互相坦白吗?
怎么突然告诉我有些事不必说得很白我也应该懂的??
如果"应该"是可行的话,我大可不必问你为什么这样.
如果"应该"是可行的话,我可以不必考虑你需要什么.
如果"应该"是可行的话,你会欢喜接受别人做给你的一切"应该"吗?
那什么是"应该"??什么又是"不应该"?
是不是每个人都一样呢?
答案你自己去想想吧...... |
