胡蘿卜、雞蛋還是咖啡豆

女兒向父親抱怨她的生活,她覺得凡事都很艱難,不知該怎樣面對(duì),想放棄。她厭倦了不斷的抗?fàn)幒蛫^斗,好像一個(gè)問題剛解決,另一個(gè)有出現(xiàn)了。
她的父親是名廚師,他把她帶進(jìn)了廚房,在三個(gè)壺里分別裝了水,然后放到火上燒。很快,壺里的水開了。他一句話也沒說,往第一個(gè)壺里放了些胡蘿卜,往第二個(gè)壺里放了雞蛋,在最后一個(gè)里放了些磨碎的咖啡豆,讓他們煮沸。
女兒撅著嘴,不耐煩得等著,對(duì)父親的行為感到很納悶。大約二十分鐘后,父親關(guān)了火爐,把胡蘿卜倒進(jìn)一個(gè)碗里。又把雞蛋拿出來(lái)放進(jìn)另一個(gè)碗里,接著把咖啡倒進(jìn)一個(gè)杯子里,然后轉(zhuǎn)過頭來(lái),對(duì)她說,“親愛的,你看見了什么?”
“胡蘿卜、雞蛋和咖啡。”她答道。
父親讓她去摸胡蘿卜,她覺得它們變?nèi)彳浟?。然后,他又讓她去把雞蛋敲破、把殼剝掉后,她看到了一個(gè)熟雞蛋。最后,父親要她喝咖啡。鏟倒芳香四溢的咖啡,她笑了。
“這是什么意思,父親/?"她謙恭的問道。
父親解釋說,這三洋東西面臨著同樣的逆境-----煮沸的水。但它們的反映卻各不相同。胡蘿卜本是強(qiáng)硬,堅(jiān)固而不甘示弱的,但受到開水的影響后,它變得柔軟而脆弱。雞蛋本來(lái)易碎,薄薄的外殼保護(hù)著內(nèi)部的液體。但是開水煮過以后,它的內(nèi)部卻變得堅(jiān)硬。不過,最獨(dú)特的卻是磨碎的咖啡豆,經(jīng)過沸騰的水后,它們卻改變了水。“哪一個(gè)是你呢?”他問女兒。當(dāng)不幸降臨到你頭上時(shí),你該如何應(yīng)對(duì)呢? 你是胡蘿卜、雞蛋,還是咖啡豆?
