Saya suka minum kopi dengan kek. Nak tahu kenapa kopi ??


Carrots, Eggs & Coffee Alice Smith
A carrot, an egg, and a cup of coffee...You will never look at a cup of coffee the same way again. A young woman went to her mother and told her abouther 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 hardboiled 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 hadfaced 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?


hmm, biarlah saya menjadi kopi, kerana dalam kehidupan kita harus menjadi kopi iaitu pandai mengadaptasi persekitaran,disenangi ramai tidak kira golongan apa sekali pun, saya tidak mahu menjadi carrot berstruktur kuat dan berwarna cantik tetapi akan menjadi lembut dan lembik bila dipanaskan, juga saya tidak akan memilih telur, zahirnya mudah pecah, sukar ditangani jika tidak berhati-hati tetapi bila dipanaskan akan terus berubah menjadi keras.
Ramai wanita diluar sana, yang zahirnya lemah lembut sopan santun, tapi bersikap seperi telor, bila berada dalam situasi yang panas atau sukar menangani masalah, akan berubah menjadi bentuk lain dan menjadi keras. Ada juga wanita yang bersikap seperti carrot, nampak seperti tegas mempertahankan prinsipnya , terlebih yakin , suka berlagak sombong dan meninggi diri tetapi apabila gagal menghadapi masalah dalam hidupnya, beliau menjadi lembik dan lunyai .
Kenapa perlu hipokrit dan pengecut untuk menghadapi apa jua situasi yang sukar, dalam kehidupan tidak perlu kita mencari musuh dan membiarkan masalah kecil berlarutan sehingga menimbulkan suasana tidak selesa. Jadilah diri kita sebenar-benarnya setiap masa dan setiap ketika. Tidak salah berargumentasi sekali- sekala , tetapi salam dan maaf harus dihulur utuk meneutralkannya kembali. Jika masing-masing ingin tetap menjadi telur dan carrot, sampai bila-bila pun isu tidak akan selesai. Salah satu pihak perlu menjadi kopi, dan percayalah individu yang sanggup mengambil peluang menjadi kopi akan lebih dihormati oleh rakan-rakan, walaupun kekhilafan bukan berpunca darinya.
Jadi biarlah saya menjadi kopi, walau sejuk mahupun panas tetap mengeluarkan aroma dan warna yang sama, senang dialirkan ke mana jua tempat dan tujuan. Kepada sesiapa yang tidak boleh menerima kopi, jangan diminum kelak migrain dibuatnya...
Yang pasti coffee dan sepotong cheese cake sudah memadai menjadikan hari saya indah dan ceria......................
