The Carrot, The Egg and The Coffee Bean

  • Put three pots of water over the fire.
  • In the first pot, put some carrots.
  • In the second pot, put some eggs.
  • In the third pot, put some coffee beans that have been grounded into coffee powder.
  • Boil all three pots for 15 minutes.
  • Take out what you put in.
  • The carrots went in hard.
  • They are now soft.
  • The eggs went in soft inside.
  • Now they are hard inside.
  • The coffee powder has  disappeared.
  • But the water has the colour and the wonderful smell of coffee.
  • Now think about life.
  • Life is not always easy.
  • Life is not always comfortable.
  • Sometimes life is very hard.
  • Things don' happen like we wis.
  • People don't treat us like we hope.
  • We work very hard but get few results.
  • What happens when we face difficulties?
  • Now think about the pots.
  • The boiling water is like the problems of life.
  • We can be like the carrots.
  • We go in tough and strong.
  • We come out soft and weak.
  • We get very tired.
  • We lose hope.
  • We give up.
  • There is no more fighting spirit.
  • Don't be like the carrots!
  • We can be like the eggs.
  • We start with a soft and sensitive heart.
  • We end up very hard and unfeeling inside.
  • We hate others.
  • We don't like ourselves.
  • We become hard-hearted.
  • There is no warm feeling, only bitterness.
  • Don't be like the eggs!
  • We can be like the coffee beans.
  • The water does not change the coffee powder.
  • The coffee powder changes the water!
  • The water has become different because of the coffee powder.
  • See it.
  • Smell it.
  • Drink it.
  • The hotter the water, the better the taste.
  • We can be like the coffee beans.
  • We make something good from the difficulties we face.
  • We learn new things.
  • We have new knowledge, new skills, new abilities.
  • We grow in experience.
  • We make the world around us better.
  • To succeed, we must try... and try again.
  • We must believe in what we are doing.
  • We must not give up.
  • We must be patient.
  • We must keep pushing.
  • Problems and difficulties give us the chance to become stronger... and better... and tougher.
  • What are we like when things do not go well?
  • Are we like the carrot...
or the egg...

or the coffee bean?


Be like the coffee bean!

Being ignored :( Yes, It hurts..


Yeah it hurts.. 
When someone ignores you. 


Have you seen anyone who spends his/her time alone in a corner of your class with no one around him/her??
Have you ever thought about such people when you spend your time with your OWN friends..
Haven't  you ever thought, what is going on in their minds??

You might not be knowing about this.. 
I don't know whether some other people also feel the same but this is my opinion about friends who act like friends but actually they are not..
"A friend in need is a friend indeed"
Yes.. Some friends cheat on others sometimes..

Some people don't have best friends.. 
They spend their time equally (like at school) with everyone, anyone whom they associate with..
But can we call such people 'Friends' ?
But most of the people have friends of their own but as mentioned earlier, some don't have... 
So think, what happens to the people who don't have, sort of best friends. 
Although they spend their time with anyone, 
I know & I think, sort of they are ignored when the people they spend their time with, be with friends of their own.. 
What would be happening to those people who are left alone... 
Have you thought anything about such people..

These are the ones who are being ignored.
And the worst thing of all is gossiping and searching for others' faults together with your friends.. And sometimes spreading  rumors  about people even though they have done nothing wrong to those people...
What do you get by doing such a thing??
Think!!
So I wanna tell you guys that, please don't ignore anyone cauz it hurts..

♥ The Little things...

There's always
a little truth behind every
"just kidding,"
a little knowledge behind every 
"I don't know,"
little emotion behind every
"I don't care,"
and a little pain behind every
"It's okay."

Let us forgive each other – only then will we live in peace...



  • Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the future.                                                            
  • When you hold resentment toward another, you are bound to that person or condition by an emotional link that is stronger than steel. Forgiveness is the only way to dissolve that link and get free.
  • The remarkable thing is that we really love our neighbor as ourselves: we do unto others as we do unto ourselves. We hate others when we hate ourselves. We are tolerant toward others when we tolerate ourselves. We forgive others when we forgive ourselves. We are prone to sacrifice others when we are ready to sacrifice ourselves.
  • Always forgive your enemies – nothing annoys them so much. We read that we ought to forgive our enemies; but we do not read that we ought to forgive our friends.
  • The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.
  • Most of us can forgive and forget; we just don’t want the other person to forget that we forgave.
  • To forgive is the highest, most beautiful form of love. In return, you will receive untold peace and happiness.
  • True forgiveness is not an action after the fact; it is an attitude with which you enter each moment.                                                 
    Let us forgive each other – only then will we live in peace.
