Once upon a time a daughter told her father that her life was hard.Though she worked hard，she often met difficulties.
   Her father，a cook，took her to the kitcjye.ain.He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire.Once the three pots began to boil，he placed potatoes in one pot，eggs in the second and ground coffee beans in the third.He then let them boil without saying anything.The daughter waited impatiently and wondered what he was doing.After twenty minutes the father turned off the burners.He took the potatoes and the eggs out of the pot and placed them in different bowls.He poured the coffee into a cup.Then he turned to her daughter and asked，"Daughter，what do you see？"
   "Potatoes，eggs and coffee，"she replied without thinking twice.
   "Look closer，"he said，"and touch the potatoes."She did and noticed that they were soft.He then asked her to take the egg and break it.After pulling off the shell，she watched the hard-boiled egg.Finally，he asked her to taste the coffee.Its nice smell brought a smile to her face.
   "Father，what does this mean？"she asked.
   The father then explained that they had each faced the same problem -- the boiling water.However，each one reacted differently.The strong and hard potato became soft and weak in boiling water.The inside of the egg became hard.However，the ground coffee beans were special.They changed the water and created something new.
   "Which one are you？"he asked his daughter."When difficulty knocks on your door，how do you work it out？Are you a potato，an egg or a coffee bean？"
   In life，unhappy things often happen around us，but the only thing that truly matters is what we do.Which one are you？
