It is about coffee?
Thursday, July 31st, 2008Do you like coffee? Have you ever used a coffee maker before? If not, then maybe you would like to check out the coffee makers site that I have assembled. I was actually thinking of shamelessly using this platform to blatantly advertised this site.
But, that would be too shameless right? Anyway, since advertising stuff is not what YOU folks would read, I was thinking "why not do something deeper, more philosphical?"
Like how life can be like coffee makers? How I got this idea was actually from a story that I have read very long time ago about coffee, and this would make the start of this blog.
There was this boy who was complaining about how tough life was and how life was unfair to him and the general grouses. He did it in front of his grandfather, who decided that maybe it was time to teach the boy a lesson.
Nope, he did not use the rod or any sweets to make the boy feels "right", instead, he cook 3 pots of water. In front of it, he places a carrot, an egg and some coffee beans.
He explained that life is like the pots of boiling waters and people can be likened to the 3 objects. Firstly, there are some folks that are like the carrots that are tough but when they went through life (boiling water) and go all soft and weak. That is not how one should be in life.
Then, what about the egg, which is soft and nice but when they went through life, they becomes all hardened. This is not also not how one should be in life.
Lastly, are the coffee beans, they did something different. They changed the water to a delicious coffee drink. And this is how one should be in life, taking charge and making the life better than before!
