        went to her mother and told her about her life and how things were so
        hard for her.  She did not know how she was going to make it and
        wanted to give up.  She was tired of fighting and struggling. 
        It seemed as one problem was solved, a new one arose. </SPAN><O:P>

        to the kitchen.  She filled three pots with water and placed each
        on a high fire.  Soon the pots came to boil.  In the first she
        placed carrots, in the second she placed eggs, and in the last she
        placed ground coffee beans.  She let them sit and boil, without
        saying a word.</SPAN></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.hapkido.com/deepthoughts/coffee.htm"><SPAN>Are you a carrot, an
        egg or a coffee bean?"</SPAN></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.hapkido.com/deepthoughts/coffee.htm">The bean actually changes the hot water, the very
        circumstance that brings the pain.  When the water gets hot, it
        releases the fragrance and flavor.  If you are like the bean, when
        things are at their worst, you get better and change the situation
        around you.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/55E8AAFB-E032-4B82-AE3A-6ACA7860609D/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
