A daughter went to her mother complaining that her life was awfull and bad luck always seemed to follow her. The mother listened carefully, then went to put 3 pots of water to boil on the fire. She put a carrot in one an egg in the second and tea leaves in the third. After a while, she arranged all the items each in a different bowl.

Then, she turns to the daughter and asks her: "What do you see?" The daughter looked at her mother baffled, then she said: "A cooked carrot, a boiled egg and tea". But, the mother insisted: "What else did you observe?" I don't know", said the girl. So the mother tells her this:

"These three items all suffered the fate of boiling water, yet they all reacted differently, the carrot was a hard core strong type and with the pain, it became soft and fell apart, the egg was all soft and gooey, with just a very thin protective shell, but having undergone the boiling water, it became hard and brittle. But, the tea leaves, they worked through the heat and changed it as well as themselves...

So, I've got the tea, anybody wants to join me?
