Recently I came across an interesting book unexpectedly - it is called The Coffee Bean. I was browsing the displayed books in a library in Bangkok and then it caught my eyes because I love coffee! At first, I thought it is a book about "coffee beans", but after reading it I realized it actually is not --- the book just uses coffee beans as a metaphor and encourages us to be like coffee beans that "transform the environment, instead of being weaken or harden by the environment."
What does it mean? When we put an egg into hot water, it becomes a boiled egg (hard) and when we put carrot into hot water, it becomes soft. However, when we put coffee beans into hot water, the beans dissolve in water and the whole thing becomes fragrant "coffee." Life can be difficult sometimes, but we can change our mindset and transform the environment we are in. It may not be easy to do, but we can at least remember the idea and try. :)
