思想轉換 - 心態的力量 THE STRENGTH OF MINDSET 女兒向父親抱怨，事事都很艱難。 A daughter complained to her father that everything is difficult. 她不知如何應付生活，好像一個問題剛剛解決，新的問題又會! 出現，她有些厭倦。 She found it hard to cope with life, seemed a problem just resolved, then a new problem appeared again. She was tired. 父親是一位廚師，把她帶進廚房。 Her father is a cook and brought her into the kitchen. 他先往三口鍋裡倒入一些水，然後放在旺火上。不久，水開了。 He began to pour some water into 3 pots, then he puts on the fire. Soon, the water was boiling. 他往第一口鍋裡放一些胡蘿蔔，第二口鍋裡放入雞蛋，第三口鍋裡放入碾成粉末的咖啡豆! 。 He put some carrots in the first pot, put an egg into the second pot, and put some coffee powder into the third pot. 20分鐘後，父親把火關了，把胡蘿蔔撈出來，放入一個碗內，把雞蛋撈出來，放入一個 鍋內，然後把咖啡舀到一個杯子裡。 20 minutes later, the father turned off the fire, took out the carrot, went to the second pot took out the egg, and then scoop the coffee to a cup. 父親轉身問女兒：「孩子，你看到了什麼？」 The father turned to ask his daughter: 'Kid, what do you see of all these?' 「胡蘿蔔，雞蛋，咖啡。」她說。 「Carrot, egg, coffee」She replied. 他讓她靠近一些，摸摸胡蘿蔔。 He lets her come closer to touch the carrot. 她注意到他它們變軟了。 She noticed the carrot became soft. 父親又讓女兒拿一個雞蛋，打破它，剝掉殼，這是一個煮熟的雞蛋。 The father lets the daughter take the egg, broke it, peeled the egg shell; this is a cooked egg. 最後，父親讓她喝了一口咖啡。嘗到濃濃的咖啡，女兒笑了，怯聲問道： Lastly, he lets her drink a mouthful of coffee. She tasted the very thick coffee and smiled. She asked: 「父親，這意味著什麼？」 'Father, what does this mean?' 父親說，三樣東西面臨同樣的逆境——煮沸的開水。但其反映各不相同。 The father said three things faced the same adverse circumstance - boiling water. But their reflection are not the same. 胡蘿蔔入鍋前是強壯的、結實的，放進開水，它變軟了、變弱了。 The carrot, before putting into the pot was strong and hard but after putting into the boiled water, it became soft and weak. 雞蛋原來是易碎的，薄薄的外殼保護著液態的內臟，開水一煮，內臟變硬。 The egg was originally crumbly, the very thin outer shell protected the internal organs of the liquid but once boiled the water cooked the internal organs and it became hard. 粉狀咖啡豆則很獨特，進入沸水，它們便改變了水。 The coffee bean powder is very special. Entering the boiling water, they changed the water. 在艱難和逆境前，可以學胡蘿蔔、雞蛋和咖啡豆，可以屈服，也可以變得更堅強, 甚至，可以改變環境。 We can learn how the carrot, egg and coffee beans all reacted in the difficult and adverse circumstances. They can accept defeat, yet became stronger, and even can change the environment and surroundings. 父親說：你改變不了環境，但可以改變自己； The father said: "Your cannot change the environment, but you can change yourself." 你改變不了事實，但可以改變態度； "Your cannot change the fact, but you can change your attitude." 你改變不了過去，但可以改變現在； "Your cannot change the past, but you can change the present." 你不能控制? L人，但可以掌握自己； "You have no command over others, but you can control yourself." 你不能預知明天，但可以把握今天； "You cannot predict tomorrow, but you can hold on today." 你不能樣樣順利，但可以事實盡心； "You can't do everything well but you can put in your best effort." 你不能左右天氣，但可以改變心情； "You cannot change weather, but you can change your mood." 你不能改變容貌，但可以展現笑容； "You cannot change your facial appearance but you can put on a smiling face." 是的，心態有時比什麼都重要。 Yes, the mindset is important compared with other things. ATITUDE is a little thing that makes a BIG difference.
