Are You a Potato, an Egg, or a Tea Leaf?Jenny was a young girl. She used to get angry at everything and she had a bad attitude about life.Once, when she felt that life was unbearable, she asked her father what to do.She told him that if she managed to solve one problem, another one followed quickly.Her father took her to the kitchen. He asked Jenny to take a potato, an egg and two spoons of tea leaves.Jenny was surprised, and asked her father, "Do you want me to cook?""No," her father said.He then took three bowls and poured one cup of water in each bowl. The bowls were placed on the stove.Once the water started to boil, he dropped the potato in a bowl, an egg in the second one and the leaves in the third one."Why are you doing all these things?" Jenny asked, really angry with her father."Just wait for fifteen minutes," said her father.The impatient daughter managed to wait for around 15 minutes.Her father removed the potato from the pot and placed it on a plate. He did the same with the egg. He filtered the tea using a cup.Now, he placed the two plates, one with the potato and the other with the egg, and the cup of tea in front of Jenny.He asked Jenny, "What do you see?""A potato, an egg and a cup of tea," said Jenny."Look at it closely and answer me," said her father.Jenny replied the same."Now touch it and answer me."The potato was soft, the egg was boiled hard, and the tea carried a nice aroma. Jenny couldn't find the correct answer.Her father said, "The potato was so hard before it was boiled; now it has turned soft and smooth.Also, the egg would break easily but after boiling it became hard. Sip the tea. It is delicious!"Jenny asked, "What does it mean father? I don't understand!""Each object responded differently to the water. Each object was put under the same kind of circumstances, faced similar challenges, but reacted differently.The potato, when put in boiling water, became very soft. The soft egg became very hard when we put it in boiling water.And the tea leaves are unique. It changed the water itself, giving it a unique flavor and aroma! It gave something new."Jenny then understood that we can create something new and unique even when we experience challenges.So, what are you? A potato, an egg, or a tea leaf?
