A professor walked around on a stage while teaching. She raised a glass of water and asked, “How heavy is (a) it?” Students shouted out various answers. She replied, “From my perspective, the weight of this glass doesn’t matter. (b) It all depends on how long I hold (c) it. If I hold it for a minute or two, it’s fairly light. If I hold it for an hour, it may make my arm ache. If I hold it for an entire day, my arm will likely cramp up, which will force me to eventually drop (d) it. In each case, the weight of the glass doesn’t change, but ________________.” “Some of your worries are like this (e) glass of water. Think about them for a short while, and nothing happens. Think about them a bit longer, and you begin to ache a little. Think about them all day long, and you will feel numb and be incapable of doing anything else until you drop them.”

One day, a daughter complained to her father about the problems she was struggling with. She was frustrated because it seemed that just as one problem was solved, another followed. “Which are you?” he asked his daughter, “When ⓐ adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? ⓑ You can lose your strength though you started strong. ⓒ You can be tough with a stiff spirit though you started weak. ⓓ Or, you can change the circumstance that was brought about by adversity for the better. Are you a potato, an egg, or a coffee bean?” He explained that each of these objects had faced the same adversity, but each one reacted differently. “The potato was strong and hard, but became soft and weak after sitting in the boiling water. The inside of the egg was fragile but became hardened after being boiled in the water. The ground coffee beans stayed intact but changed the water itself, making it fragrant and flavorful.” Her father took her to the kitchen. He filled three pots with water and placed potatoes, eggs, and ground coffee beans in each of the three pots. He then let them boil. After twenty minutes, he turned off the stove. Turning to her, he asked, “What do you see?” “Potatoes, eggs, and coffee,” she hastily replied. “Yes, but look closer,” he said, “and tell me what happened to each.” Shortly after, she found that the potatoes became soft. After peeling off the shells of the eggs, she noted that the inside of the eggs became firm. Finally, she took a sip of the coffee and smiled at the aroma. “Alright, Dad. What are you trying to tell me?” she asked.
