...THE CARROT, THE EGG AND THE COFFEE BEAN Put three pots of water over the fire. In the first pot, put some carrots. In the second pot, put some eggs. In the third pot, put some coffee beans that have been grounded into coffee powder. Boil all three pots for 15 minutes. Take out what you put in. The carrots went in hard. They are now soft. The eggs went in soft inside. Now they are hard inside. The coffee powder has disappeared . But the water has the colour and the wonderful smell of coffee. Now think about life. Life is not always easy. Life is not always comfortable. Sometimes life is very hard. Things don’t happen like we wish. People don’t treat us like we hope. We work very hard but get few results. What happens when we face difficulties? difficulties Now think about the pots. The boiling water is like the problems of life. We can be like the carrots. We go in tough and strong. We come out soft and weak. We get very tired. We lose hope. We give up. There is no more fighting spirit. Don’t be like the carrots! We can be like the eggs. We start with a soft and sensitive heart. We end up very hard and unfeeling inside. We hate others. We don’t like ourselves. We become hard-hearted. There is no warm feeling, only bitterness. Don’t be like the eggs! 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...

...Dealing with adversity is something that everyone has to deal with. When considering how I deal with adversity, I was presented with the question “Am I a carrot, an egg, or a coffee bean?” As I was drafting my paper I struggled with how to begin, because I wasn't sure what I am. Then I decided I am equal parts carrot, egg, and coffee bean. I am a carrot for many reasons. A carrot becomes soft after experiencing boiling water; as I experience challenges I become sensitive.When dealing with adversity, I feel that becoming a carrot is my first instinct. For example, I turn into a carrot when dealing with school. Classes are very stressful and I can feel myself struggling to deal with the challenges. Due to stress, I don’t always perform to...

...Adversity is a difficult thing to face, but it shows us who we are. Some people say that there are three ways to react to adversity, carrot who softens to when boiled, eggs that harden, and the coffee bean that changes the water. This is a question we have to ask ourselves. I react differently to every adversity, as a carrot, egg, and coffee bean. Sometimes, when I face adversity I become soft like carrot. This is the worst way to respond. Being a carrot is awful; I feel powerless to do anything. This was the way I dealt with adversity when I was a child. I would cry and ask my parents to correct the problem, never taking responsibility. However, I like to believe that I will overcome this way in time as I grow older, and realise that...

...How do I handle adversity? Handling adversity can be hard for all of us. Some can handle it extraordinarily well, and others crumble from the pressure. How I try to handle adversity can be described as being a carrot, an egg, or a coffee bean after being put in boiling water. The carrot will become soft and therefore have humanity, the egg will become hard and be tough, and the coffee bean will use the water to make delicious coffee which it will benefit from. Let’s start off with how I relate with the carrot. Before being put in the pot, the carrot is hard and difficult to deal with. However, after being put into the boiling water, it becomes soft and almost mush. There are bad elements but also good elements to this as well. It is good in a sense easier to find humanity in something when it is soft. However the bad thing is that when being soft also comes with being vulnerable as well. This vulnerability can literally destroy any stability a person has in them. I think it is good to be a little soft in adversity, but still have some hardness to myself....

...Although I am only seventeen, growing up has taught me to appreciate the value of the little things in this world. You will face upon adversity at some point in your life. Joseph B. Wirthlin once said, “As with the butterfly, adversity is necessary to build character in people.” When misfortune shows up in my life, I face it in different ways; as a carrot, an egg, and a coffee bean. During my junior spring semester, I tried out for the varsity softball team, the odds were not in my favor so I behaved as a carrot. Winter cheer season was coming to an end, therefore; I was truly ready for the upcoming softball season. With confidence, I was for sure that I wouldn’t be benched the whole season, unlike the previous one. As tryout came I felt like I was improving since the last time I stepped out on that field. As tryouts came to an end, the coaches called us into the press box individually. Right away I could see the sorrow in their facial expressions. I was told I would not be participating in the Fort Chiswell Softball Program my...

...The Reason Why I Started To Eat Carrots It is Sunday afternoon; I’m hungry and I can’t take off my mind the carrot cake that I eat each year on my birthday. I’m gazing at the splendid vista that my huge picture window offers. It is winter now, and as far I can see, there is no green anywhere in the woods, only the desolate gray that is scattered among the crunchy branches, the dead frozen grass that doesn’t lure the deer to come by and say hi to the window. But here I am, the time is passing, and I have the feeling of being part of a movie playing in slow motion, one that shows my life passing by in front of my eyes, and I can’t touch it. Walking with my head down, suddenly, a sparkle of light on the ground calls my attention; it is a distortion of the sun that deceives me with a fractured hint of a gem that becomes the most important thing to me for the next three seconds. It is a leaf. Here is when the shining leaf took me back to a big moment, that moment in the past that everyone remembers once in a while. Those memories that transport us back to times of happiness. The shining leaf I had rescued has the same brown glazed color of a carrot cake. Those memories are ‘messing’ in my head, just to cause my emotions to emerge. Was this weird or just coincidence? The golden brown color in a carrot cake is the only thing I can think about right now. Yeah, life gives surprises and on this occasion it gives me a trip to the past. I was just five years old. The memories come back...

...spending more time with our loved ones, getting the promotion that we’ve always been dreaming of. What is it that stops us from accomplishing these goals and how can we overcome this fortress of demotivation? Let’s have a look at some of the approaches that we’ve identified that could help: 1) ‘The Carrot and The Stick’ Approach: Usually, when people set out to strive for a goal they forget about the finer things in life and forget to relish what they have achieved already. On the other hand, when people become totally lethargic about having to do something and they simply can’t figure out a way to get themselves to start work then the best way to go about it is to follow ‘The Carrot and Stick’ approach to motivate themselves. In layman terms, the carrot is the reward and the stick is the punishment. This approach illustrates that a system that combines both the elements should be used to induce motivation in people. Lets say your goal is to reduce you’re weight from a staggering 300 pounds to a handsome 160 pounds, at every pound that you reduce you should make it a habit of celebrating this success with rewarding yourself with one special meal which will act as your carrot or at every pound that you gain make it a habit to walk an...

...Pork Giniling is a pork dish that makes use of ground pork as the primary ingredient. Ground pork is stewed in tomato sauce and water to bring out the taste while vegetables such as carrots and potatoes (some also like this with raisins and green peas) are added for additional flavor and nutrition. This can be considered as a staple dish in the Philippines when ground pork is concerned. I think that it is fair to say that Filipinos are into pork giniling as much as Americans are into chili. I have 2 ways of preparing this dish, this is the first while the other makes use of guisantes or green peas and raisins – boiled eggs are out of the picture. I like this dish because of its simplicity. As a person, I tend to appreciate the simple things in life. I am not a minimalist; I just find serenity and lesser stress if I stick on to the basics. Don’t get me wrong; going the extra mile is a good thing but if I can accomplish what needs to be done with lesser effort and time then that’s the way that I’m going. Do you like Pork Giniling? How do like this done? Let’s enjoy life through good food. Happy cooking! Pork Giniling Recipe Ingredients * 1 1/2 lb ground pork * 1 1/2 cups potatoes, diced * 1 cup carrots, diced * 8 ounces tomato sauce * 6 cloves garlic, crushed * 1 medium-sized onion, minced * 1 teaspoon granulated sugar * 1 piece beef or pork cube * 4 boiled eggs, shelled (optional) * Salt and pepper to taste * 3 tablespoons cooking...

...old proteins in cells and tissues that have been broken down and need to be replaced. Proteins are biological polymers composed of amino acids. Amino acids, linked together by peptide bonds, form a polypeptide chain. One or more polypeptide chains twisted into a 3-D shape form a protein. Proteins have complex shapes that include various folds, loops, and curves. Folding in proteins happens spontaneously Proteins are made up of amino acids, and they are the “building blocks” of life. Our skin, muscles, tendons, cartilage, even hair and nails, are all because of protein. Protein helps form enzymes, hormones, antibodies and new tissues. It transports important nutrients in and out of those cells. There are nine amino acids known as “essential” amino acids, and therefore must be derived from what we eat. Arginine classified as a semi-essential or “conditionally” essential amino acid, depending on the developmental stage and health status of the individual. Arginine can be found in almonds, beets, carrots, cashews, celery, chickpeas, coconut, cucumbers, sprouts, sunflower seeds and walnuts. Histidine is needed during infancy for proper growth and development, once was believed to be only essential for newborns, but...

...Chemistry of Life – Lab Report The purpose of this lab exercise is to perform chemical tests on a variety of foods to identify the presence of any major molecules essential to life. After acquiring the results we will analyze them and we will be able to describe the general chemical content of those foods. In order to determine which specific major molecules were present in certain foods we conducted four different tests. The iodine test tested for starch by putting a few drops of iodine on a food substance. If the food turned a blue-black color then it was positive for starch. The Benedict’s test tested for the presence of sugar. In order to test you put 1 ml of solution to be tested and add an equal volume of Benedict’s reagent in a test tube and heat in a water bath for two minutes. If the solution goes from blue, to green-yellow, then to a red-brown color it means it is positive for sugar. The next test is the Biuret test and its tests for peptide bonds in proteins. To test you add a few drops of Biuret reagent to a food substance. If it turns a violet-purple color then it is positive for protein. The final test is the Grease Spot test for lipids. If there is a “grease spot” present after conducting this test, then the food tested positive for lipids. The first group of foods that were tested was the fruits and they consisted of apples, bananas, plantains, and avocados. The apple, banana, and plantain contained starch and sugar and this is correct because these two...

...When you think about watching a cartoon you probably imagine something funny and whimsical to keep a child entertained. Adventure Time does not quite follow this kind of format and opts for something a bit darker. Adventure Time follows the main character Finn, presumably the last human on the planet, and his anthropomorphic shape-shifting dog named Jake. Together they are the heroes in the Land of Ooo, the main setting of the story. The Land of Ooo has been hinted as being the future remains of Earth after some kind of global disaster. Adventure Time flawlessly uses heavyhearted situations to provide the audience a deeper understanding of what life is all about. A great example of this kind of presentation is the episode titled “Jake the Brick.” This episode starts off with Finn leaving his home to travel into the woods. On his trip, he takes a break to eat an apple. When he finishes the apple, he tosses the core at a hollow tree stump nearby. He misses and the core lands quite a bit away from the stump. Continuing on his journey, he walks up to a half collapsed brick structure. In the wall of this building happens to be Jake in the form of a brick. Jake is preforming an experiment to see what it is like to be a brick in a wall...

...situations—or even mastering social skill sets—than about developing a genuine interest in and talent for fostering positive feelings in the people whose cooperation and support you need.”3 However, contrary to this ideal, most business leaders; when asked about their “basic image of ‘the leader’“reply that it is often that of a military commander and “military organizations are the purest example of an unimaginative application of simple reward and punishment” models of motivation.4 This style of leadership focuses more on the task and less on the development of the individual or the relationships in the organization. “What is the dominant philosophy of motivation in American management? Almost invariably, they quickly agree that it is the carrot-and-stick philosophy.”1 “Since early childhood, we were taught that our actions have consequences. Do something good that exceeds expectations and get something good in return. Run afoul of what’s acceptable and be penalized. This positive/negative balancing act sets the tone for our lives from cradle to grave.” What makes this form of motivation fail for the employee, besides being treated as a less than, is our intrinsic nature to try and get...

...n one of the few in-depth treatments of power in conflict situations, Hubert M. Blalock begins by acknowledging something most of us know but rarely state: "The concept of power is both exceedingly slippery to pin down and yet indispensable in enabling one to analyze...."[1] Having defined power, as in physics, as having both potential and kinetic forms, he opts for the latter usage alone in his text. That is, he acknowledges power as both the capacity of an individual or group to accomplish something, and the actual doing of something, but he limits his discussion to "actions actually accomplished." Additional insights into understanding power are offered by Beyond Intractability project participants. This has two advantages. First, it dovetails with how most of us think about power most of the time. Second, it is easier to quantify. It is much easier to measure something that has occurred than something that is a possibility. An actual occurrence is a fact that can be checked. There may be disagreement on the sources of its occurrence, but the argument about its occurrence is likely to be short-lived if adequate facts can be brought to bear. If one side has won in a disagreement (in that it has gotten the other to do something it wanted), we have prima facie evidence that the first is more powerful -- or at least has exerted more power -- than the second. Since concerns of relative power are important in conflicts, it is helpful to have a clear picture of who has...
