carrot , egg or coffee beans

This is a wonderful , inspiring thought i came across and wish to share with everybody.

One day a man who was exhausted from his life, tired fighting his fate as he had faced much hardships and life had never given him respite. He complained to his mother , for the tough situations he was going through. Mother didn't replied to him immediately and took him to the kitchen. she put 3 pots on the flame and started boiling,egg and coffee beans into those pots. after about 15 minutes she asked the man to taste all the three and what does he observe. In his mental anguish he couldn't make anything out it. Then mother tried explaining him that there are 3 kinds of person in this world, 1st kind like carrot who seems to be hard from outside but in testing time give up their hardness and become soft and weak,2nd kind like egg who are real soft, tender and fragile but in boiling water(hardship) become hard,tough and strong willed. 3rd kind are like coffee beans who turns the dark,tough circumstances into their favour just like coffee beans which imparts the aroma and flavour to the boiling water. These are the people who adjusts their rudder with the direction of the wind , faces the hell and blooms heaven out it.

Happy HOLI in advance . may the colours of holi wash away all our griefs and pains , we get to realize the true meaning of our lives and can try and lead a balance life .
