A daughter complained to her father about her life and how things were so hard for her, She did not know she was going to make it and want to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved a new one arose.
有一个女孩向她父亲抱怨她的生活，她觉得凡事都很艰难，不知该怎样挺过去，想放弃。她厌倦了不断的抗争和奋斗，似乎一个问题刚刚解决，另一个问题马上呈现。
Her father, a cook, took her to the kitchen, He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire .Soon the pots came to a boil. In one he placed carrots, in the second he placed eggs, and in the last he placed ground coffee beans. He led them sit and boil, without saying a word.
她的父亲是个厨师，他把她带到了厨房。他在三个壶里分别装满了水，然后放到高温的火上烧。很快，壶里的水被煮开了。他往第一个壶里放了些胡萝卜，往第二个壶里放了几个鸡蛋，在最后一个壶里放了些磨碎的咖啡豆，然后，一句话也没说，他由着水把它们煮沸。
The daughter sucked her teeth and impatiently waited, wondering what he was doing. In about twenty minutes he turned off the burners, He fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. He pulled the eggs out and placed them a bowl. Then he ladled the coffee out and placed it in a mug. Turning to her he asked," Darling, what do you see?"
女儿咂巴着牙齿发出声响，不耐烦地等着，对父亲的行为感到很纳闷。大约二十分钟后，父亲关掉了火炉，把胡萝卜捞出来，放到一个碗里。又把鸡蛋拣出来放进另一个碗里，接着把咖啡用勺子舀出来倒进一个杯子里，然后转过头来，对她说，“亲爱的，你看到的是什么？”
"Carrots, eggs, and coffee." she replied.
“胡萝卜、鸡蛋和咖啡。”她答道。
He brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots, she did and noted that they were soft .He then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell,
she observed the hard-boiled egg. Finally, he asked her to sip the coffee .She smiled, as she tasted its rich aroma.
父亲把她带近了这些东西，要她去摸胡萝卜，她摸了之后，注意到，它们变柔软了。然后，他又要她去拿一个鸡蛋并把它敲破，在把壳剥掉之后，她观察了这个煮熟的鸡蛋。最后，父亲要她饮一口咖啡。尝着芳香四溢的咖啡，她微笑起来。
"What does it mean, Father?" she humbly asked.
“这是什么意思，父亲？”她谦逊地问道。
He explained that each of them had faced the same adversity, boiling water, but each reacted differently. The carrot went in strong, hard, and unrelenting. But after being subjected to the boiling water, it softened and weak. The egg had being fragile. Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior, but after sitting through the boiling water. its inside became hardened ,The ground coffee beans were unique ,however ,After they were in the boiling water ,they had changed the water .
父亲解释说，这三样东西面临着同样的逆境——煮沸的水。但它们的反应却各不相同。胡萝卜本是硬的，坚固而且强度大，但受到煮沸的水的影响后，它变得柔软而脆弱。鸡蛋本来易碎，薄薄的外壳保护着内部的液体。但是在经历过煮沸的水以后，它的内部却变得坚硬。不过，最独特的却是磨碎的咖啡豆，当它们被放入煮沸的水之后，它们却改变了水。
"Which are you?" he asked his daughter.
“哪一个是你呢？”他问女儿。
When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean?【美文-女儿】
当逆境找上你时，你该如何应对呢？ 你是胡萝卜、鸡蛋，还是咖啡豆？

宝贝，光阴似箭，日月如梭。襁褓中咿呀学语，庭院里蹒跚学步，都早已是很久以前的事了。不知不觉你已长大，转眼你就上大学了。按理说，18 岁就是成年人 ，我本不该有什么担心。只是你自从出生以来，从来没有离开过家，我总担心你在外面照顾不好自己。你说不希望在本地上大学，我理解，也支持。外面海阔天空，你可以任意飞翔。
你很讨厌说教，但在你外出求学之际，我仍要啰唆几句。对你未必有效，对我却是安慰。
关于道德
- 道德首先是一种实践，善良不能仅存
于内心-
做一个有道德的人，这个说法并不新鲜，我主要是想说怎么做的问题。道德首先是一种实践，善良不能仅存于内心。记得有一次坐公交车，我主动给一位老人让座。当时你和君姐都说，没想到我会给人让座。我问你们，老师不就是这样教你们的？你们说是，只是觉得做的时候有点不好意思。我理解年轻人的这种【美文-女儿】
心理，我第一次帮助别人时，也很在乎别人的眼光。
现在想来，根本不必。一件好事，不存私利，有何担心，怕啥议论？生活中有很多小事，只要信手拈来，就是一种善行。当你可以帮助别人时，不要吝啬。世界将因你的举手之劳，变得更加美好。爸爸受过别人的恩惠，我们要懂得反哺社会的道理。
关于专业
- 挑专业就是挑兴趣，不要用利益标准
衡量-【美文-女儿】
专业的好坏是相对的、辩证的。今天的好专业不等于永远的好专业。不要用利益的标准来衡量专业好坏。挑专业就是挑兴趣，专业再热，学科再强，你不喜欢，没有意义。兴趣的标准更稳定，利益的标准不长久。做自己喜欢的事，看自己喜欢的书，是人生一大享受。挑你喜欢的，学你热爱的，工作应有更多快乐，生活会有更高品质。
任何专业，只要学得足够好，不愁得不到别人不曾得到的东西。好比旅行，只要走得足够远，就能看得见别人未曾看见的风景。人类社会不断发展，专业分工更为精细，但专业分工不能分得井水不犯河水。各种专业都是解释世界的方式，广泛涉猎，你会更具智慧。 极致
