Jane was a young girl. She loved to see the negative side of life.
Once, her father took her to the kitchen. He asked Jane to take a potato, an egg 1 two spoons of tea leaves. Jane was 2, and asked her father, "Do you want me to cook?"
"No," her father said.
He then took three pots and 3 some water into each pot. The pots were placed on the stove. Once the water started to boil, he dropped the potato in a pot, egg in 4 one and the tea leaves in the third one.
"Why are you doing all these things?" Jane felt puzzled and asked.
"You'll get the answer in fifteen minutes," said her father.
The impatient daughter tried her best 5 for around 15 minutes.
Now, he placed the two plates, one with the potato and 6 with the egg, and the cup of tea in front of Jane.
Jane asked, "What does it mean, father? I don't understand!"
"Each object faced similar adversities (不幸), but reacted (反应)7. After we put the potato into boiling water, it became very weak. The soft egg became very hard 8 we put it in boiling water. And the tea leaves changed the water itself, giving it a nice smell. 9 fantastic it is!"
Jane understood that we could create 10 new even when we experienced adversities.
So, what are you? A potato, an egg or tea leaves?
