In conclusion...

The Parable of the

Coffee Beans

There was once an intelligent teacher who experimented with boiling water

She put three pots of water over the fire.

In the first pot, she put some carrots.

In the second pot, she put some eggs.

In the third pot, she put some coffee beans that had been grounded into coffee powder.

She boiled all three pots for 15 minutes.

Afterwards, she took out what she had put in the pot of boiling water.

The carrots which were hard became soft

The eggs which were soft insidebecame hard.

But the water had the colour and the wonderful smell of coffee.

The coffee powder disappeared.

Then, she thought of her life as a teacher.

Life of a teacher is not always easy.

Life of a teacher is not always comfortable.

Oftentimes, life of a teacher is trying and difficult.

We work very hard but get few results.

Things don’t happen as we wish.

People don’t treat us as we hope.

The boiling water is like the problems in our life as teachers.

We can be like the carrots.

We go intough and strong.

We come out soft and weak.

We get very tired.We lose hope.We give up.

There is no more fighting spirit.

We can be like the eggs.

We start with a soft and sensitive heart.

We end up very hard and unfeeling inside.

We become hard-hearted.

There is no warm feeling, only bitterness.

We hate our job.We don’t like our students.

We can be like the coffee beans.

The water does not

change the coffee powder.

The coffee powder changes

the water!

The water has become different because of the coffee powder.

You can see it.You can smell it.You can taste it.

The hotter the water, the better the taste.

We can be like the coffee beans.

We can make something good from the difficulties we face at school.

We have the knowledge, the skills, and the abilities.

We have the potentials for changing the lives of our students for the better.

We can make our school a better place for work.

To succeed, we must try… and try again.We must believe in what we are doing.We must not give up.We must be patient.We must keep pushing.

difficulties

problemshandle with care

The problems and difficulties at school give us the chance to become stronger… and tougher …and better teachers.

What are we like when thingsdo not go well at school?

Are we like the carrots…

or the eggs…

or the coffee beans?

Be like the coffee beans!

Change the people around you at school. Influence them with your good work…

…even if in return they will harbor ill feelings against you.

…even if they will rock you out of your wits.

After all, in the final

judgment, it is between

YOU and GOD anyway.

Thank You
