GRANDMA’S KITCHEN WISDOM: HOW CARROTS, EGGS, AND COFFEE HOLD LIFE LESSONS

We all seek guidance, especially from our grandparents, during tough times. In a widely shared internet parable, a grandmother imparts simple yet profound wisdom to her granddaughter.

Though the author remains unknown, their words carry a universal truth that resonates with everyone.

The tale unfolds with a young woman confiding in her grandmother about the challenges in her life. She’s feeling overwhelmed and in need of assistance.

In response, her grandmother brings out a carrot, some eggs, and coffee…

“The young woman poured out her heart, sharing how life had become an uphill battle. She felt on the verge of giving up, exhausted from the constant struggle. It seemed that every time one problem was resolved, another emerged.

Without uttering a word, her grandmother led her to the kitchen.

There, she filled three pots with water and set them on high heat. As the water reached a boiling point, she placed carrots in the first pot, eggs in the second, and ground coffee beans in the last.”

“After about twenty minutes, she turned off the burners. Carefully, she scooped out the softened carrots and placed them in a bowl.

Then, she gently collected the now-hardened eggs and arranged them in another bowl. Lastly, she poured the aromatic coffee into a third bowl.

She turned to her granddaughter and asked, ‘What do you see?’ ‘Carrots, eggs, and coffee,’ came the reply.”

“Drawing her in closer, the grandmother instructed her to touch the carrots. The young woman noted their now-tender texture.

Next, she was guided to take an egg and break it open. With the shell removed, she examined the solid interior.

Finally, the granddaughter was invited to savor a sip of the coffee. A smile spread across her face as she tasted its rich flavor.

Curious, she asked, ‘What does it all mean, Grandmother?’ The wise woman went on to explain that all three items had faced the same challenge — boiling water — yet each had reacted differently.”

“The carrot, once strong and unyielding, had softened and become pliable after the boiling water.

The egg, initially fragile with its delicate shell, had emerged hardened inside after enduring the heat.

However, the coffee beans had displayed a remarkable transformation. They had changed the water, infusing it with their essence.

‘Now, my dear,’ she asked her granddaughter, ‘which are you? When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond?

Are you a carrot, an egg, or a coffee bean?’”

“Consider this: What am I? Am I like the carrot, appearing strong but wilting under the weight of pain and adversity, losing my resilience?”

“Or am I akin to the egg, initially tender-hearted but hardening with life’s trials? Has a loss, a breakup, a financial setback, or some other hardship left me bitter and unyielding inside, even if I still wear a familiar facade?”

“Perhaps, I’m more like the coffee bean.

When faced with adversity, do I, like the bean, transform the situation itself? Does the heat of difficulty bring out the best in me, releasing the fragrance and flavor of my true self?”
