HOW TO DEAL WITH PROBLEMS

"In my life, I have often seen people who have faced problems in their lives. Each of them reacted in their own way to the situation, but most simply gave up at the first setback. Today, I would like to retell a remarkable Eastern parable about how problems, failures and attitudes affect us. It clarified a lot for me. I hope you it will seem informative.

A disciple comes to the master and complains of a hard life. They say, the problems of, I don't know what to do, hands down. Share wisdom, help with advice.

Teacher silently took out four pot, filled their water and put on the fire. In the first pot he threw a wooden chock, in the second – carrots, in the third – chicken egg, and in the fourth – a handful of coffee beans.

After a while, the water started to boil, and he pulled the pots out of the water and said, " what just happened?". "What was supposed to happen. Carrots and eggs boiled, the piece of wood did not change, and the coffee beans turned into aromatic coffee," the disciple replied.

"And you take a closer look. Water is our life, the fire changes and challenges, and what's inside the pot is the man. Only here people are different and react differently to problems. Therefore, the contents in the pots are different.

Carrot man. Most of these people. When life is calm, they seem to be persistent and calm. But it is necessary to appear the first problems, as soon as they become soft and easy to break. Such people begin to whine, blame others for their problems, and shout about an unjust world.

Man is wood. These are special people who manage to remain true to themselves and not to change even at the heaviest scrapes. But to see this fortitude is possible only during problems. In peaceful time they are no different from other people.

Human egg. This is a special case. During a quiet life, they are malleable and prefer to swim downstream. And only after hard trials do they" harden", gain strength of spirit and become self-confident. The blows of fate, which had threatened to destroy them now is not so bad.»

What about coffee?"asked the disciple of the master.
"And these are the rarest people. They do not change under the influence of adverse circumstances, and transforming them into something beautiful and changing people's lives for the better. They even in the most pitch darkness will find light and present it to other people. They turn plain water into a wonderful drink, making it a culinary dish.
