Basically what you get is what you see. That's right, you read it right the first time and no, i didnt mean what you see is what you get. Different people perceive me in different ways, and its up to them to decide how they want to deal with it. I am confrontational, yet introverted...Sexy, yet humble...Inquisitive, yet soft-spoken. I like to describe myself like ground coffee beans...Here is why. I was once told a story about a young girl who moved to a new city far away from where she previously lived, and she had a very difficult time adjusting to her new surroundings. She went to talk to her mother about how completely frustrated and overwhelmed she was. Her mother took her into the kitchen and told her to gather some carrots, and egg, and some ground coffee beans. The mother then instructed her daughter to immerse each item in water and set them to boil on the stove. After several minutes, the mother told the daughter to remove each item from the stove and observe how each item had changed. The carrots, which were once strong and firm now were soft and weak when presented with the heat of the boiling wate. The egg which was soft on the inside and protective on the outside became hardened and resistant when put under the pressure of the changes it had to undergo. The ground coffee beans were a little different. When presented with an unstoppable change, the coffee beans blended with the water as to embrace the change. Not only did the coffee beans do this, but they released a refreshing aroma that filled the house. The mother asked the daughter,"What kind of person are you? Are you like the carrots that became soft, weak, and almost afraid to face changes? Are you like the egg that was soft at heart, but became rigid, stiff, and unbreakable as if it was almost resistant to change? Or are you like the coffee beans. Do you try to make the best out of whatever obstacles may come to you? Do you have the ability to make happen what you want in life and take charge of change...release your aroma?" Coffee Beans. Isnt it funny how something so simple can be used as a metaphor that makes you think...What type of person are you?
