Carrot, Egg or Coffee?

A carrot starts out firm, but when you put a carrot in boiling water, it becomes limp. An egg starts out with a hard shell and is soft in the middle, but place it in boiling water and the inside becomes hard. And when you put coffee in boiling water, it changes the water completely.

Some people are like carrots. They act tough enough, but the challenges of life soften them, they wilt and won't stand up for themselves anymore.

Other people are like eggs. As they confront challenges, they get hard on the inside. They are calloused, and become unable or unwilling to feel and do not allow themselves to connect and relate with other people.

Leaders are like coffee. When thrust into the challenges of life, they actually CHANGE the situation.
