The Carrot, The Egg, and The Coffee Bean

Posted by Unknown at 9:04 AM 1 comments
A young woman 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 that, as one problem was solved, a new one arose. Her mother took her to the kitchen. She filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to a 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. In about twenty minutes, she turned off the burners. She fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. She pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. Then she ladled the coffee out and placed it in a bowl. Turning to her daughter, she asked, "Tell me, what do you see?"

"Carrots, eggs, and coffee," the young woman replied. The mother brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft. She then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg. Finally, she asked her to sip the coffee. The daughter smiled as she tasted its rich aroma. The daughter then asked, "What does it mean, mother?"

Her mother explained that each of these objects had faced the same adversity - boiling water - but each reacted differently. The carrot went in strong, hard and unrelenting. However, after being subjected to the boiling water, it softened and became weak.

The egg had been 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.

"Which are you?" the mother asked her daughter. "When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a carrot, an egg, or a coffee bean?" Think of this: Which am I? Am I the carrot that seems strong but, with pain and adversity, do I wilt and become soft and lose my strength? Am I the egg that starts with a malleable heart, but changes with the heat? Did I have a fluid spirit but, after a death, a breakup, or a financial hardship, does my shell look the same, but on the inside am I bitter and tough with a stiff spirit and a hardened heart? Or am I like the coffee bean? The bean actually changes the hot water, the very circumstance that brings the pain. When the water gets hot, it releases the fragrance and flavour.

If you are like the bean, when things are at their worst, you get better and change the situation around you. When the hours are the darkest and trials are their greatest, do you elevate to another level? How do you handle adversity? Are you a carrot, an egg, or a coffee bean?

"A good character is the best tombstone. Those who loved you and were helped by you will remember you when forget-me-nots have withered. Carve your name on hearts, not on marble."

Mawar

Posted by Unknown at 12:11 AM 0 comments












Tidak pernah melihat orang sekeras itu
Segigih itu, sekuat itu
Menyayangi dan menyakiti
Bagai sesuatu tak memiliki hati
Dipikirnya bak mawar
Indah dan berduri
Nyatanya memang penuh duri
Tak seindah mawar yang mekar
Untuk apa dipetik
Lalu dipatahkan...
Ditanam kembali
Di tanah yang tandus
Mawar tak akan pernah mekar
Kembali hidup setelah patah
Dalam tandusnya tanah
Percuma, tidak akan berakar
Kenapa tidak kau tinggalkan saja
Ia sudah mekar
Pada tanah gembur
Tak berpenghuni
Indah dan berduri 

Journey

Posted by Unknown at 12:03 AM 0 comments

Hidup adalah sebuah perjalanan panjang dimana kita menemukan fungsi dan alasan kenapa kita dilahirkan di dunia ini
Kehidupan yang kita jalani ini adalah sebuah negeri yang Allah tetapkan untuk kita, Umat Manusia.
Seperti halnya musafir, dunia ini hanyalah sementara.
Kita hanya melewati fase menikmati keindahan semu ini, anggaplah 60 tahun lamanya.
Bisa jadi kurang atau lebih. Wallahu'alam bisshawwab
Musafir yang berpergian jauh, tidak akan membawa ranjangnya, lemarinya, seluruh pakaiannya, perhiasannya, dan seluruh harta yang ia miliki.
Fokusnya hanya satu, tujuannya mencapai garis akhir.
Pulang ke rumah, dalam keadaan selamat sentosa.
Perjalanan panjangnya adalah proses membangun rumah yang akan ia tempati.
Rumah yang sejuk nan asri
Atau rumah yang sempit dan panas
Bahan baku dan material lainnya dipilih selama ia dalam perjalanan
Tidak mudah.
Material tersebut tidak dibawa bawa pulang ke rumah.
Justru dipergunakan dengan baik
Tidak takut habis, tidak kikir, tidak pelit
Karena..
Keberkahan dari langit dan bumi, seperti sumber daya alam yang melimpah serta rezeki yang lezat (Al-barakah dan ar-rizqu ath-thayyib). Allah SWT berfirman, "Jikalau sekiranya penduduk negeri-negeri beriman dan bertakwa, pastilah Kami akan melimpahkan kepada mereka berkah dari langit dan bumi." (QS. Al-A'raaf: 96)

Dan para musafir itu percaya bahwa...
"....supaya ia mengetahui bahwa janji Allah itu adalah benar, tetapi kebanyakan manusia tidak mengetahuinya.” (Al-Qashash: 13)

Saya ini apa

Posted by Unknown at 12:31 AM 0 comments
Sungguh, aku ini bukan apa-apa
Semakin dewasa semakin merasa banyak sekali yang tidak saya tahu
Semakin haus, semakin lapar
Sungguh besar karunia Allah

Ilmunya begitu luas
Dengan memori yang terbatas
Tanpa batas
Saya coba melampaui ingatan yang terbatas

Saya ini apa
Baru menjadi manusia
Yang memiliki nama
Dan terlahir serupa dengan yang lainnya

Saya ini apa
Hanya manusia bodoh
Yang tidak ada apa-apanya
Berjalan kesana kemari mencari ilmu

Semakin lama, terasa semakin bodoh
Semakin terlihat begitu besar bumi ini ini
KekuasanNya, IlmuNya, KarunianNya
Saya ini apa

Terus berjalan
Terus mencari
Terus belajar
Saya ini apa

Saya masih bukan apa-apa

Kita hanya melewati fase menikmati keindahan semu ini, anggaplah 60 tahun lamanya.
Bisa jadi kurang atau lebih. Wallahu'alam bisshawwab
Musafir yang berpergian jauh, tidak akan membawa ranjangnya, lemarinya, seluruh pakaiannya, perhiasannya, dan seluruh harta yang ia miliki.
Fokusnya hanya satu, tujuannya mencapai garis akhir.
Pulang ke rumah, dalam keadaan selamat sentosa.
Perjalanan panjangnya adalah proses membangun rumah yang akan ia tempati.
Rumah yang sejuk nan asri
Atau rumah yang sempit dan panas
Bahan baku dan material lainnya dipilih selama ia dalam perjalanan
Tidak mudah.
Material tersebut tidak dibawa bawa pulang ke rumah.
Justru dipergunakan dengan baik
Tidak takut habis, tidak kikir, tidak pelit
Karena..
Keberkahan dari langit dan bumi, seperti sumber daya alam yang melimpah serta rezeki yang lezat (Al-barakah dan ar-rizqu ath-thayyib). Allah SWT berfirman, "Jikalau sekiranya penduduk negeri-negeri beriman dan bertakwa, pastilah Kami akan melimpahkan kepada mereka berkah dari langit dan bumi." (QS. Al-A'raaf: 96)

Dan para musafir itu percaya bahwa...
"....supaya ia mengetahui bahwa janji Allah itu adalah benar, tetapi kebanyakan manusia tidak mengetahuinya.” (Al-Qashash: 13)

Saya ini apa

Sungguh, aku ini bukan apa-apa
Semakin dewasa semakin merasa banyak sekali yang tidak saya tahu
Semakin haus, semakin lapar
Sungguh besar karunia Allah

Ilmunya begitu luas
Dengan memori yang terbatas
Tanpa batas
Saya coba melampaui ingatan yang terbatas

Saya ini apa
Baru menjadi manusia
Yang memiliki nama
Dan terlahir serupa dengan yang lainnya

Saya ini apa
Hanya manusia bodoh
Yang tidak ada apa-apanya
Berjalan kesana kemari mencari ilmu

Semakin lama, terasa semakin bodoh
Semakin terlihat begitu besar bumi ini ini
KekuasanNya, IlmuNya, KarunianNya
Saya ini apa

Terus berjalan
Terus mencari
Terus belajar
Saya ini apa

Saya masih bukan apa-apa
