You may not have been able to get a job after several years of searching or you have just been laid off your job,however, the appropriate mindset to tacle this challenge is to accept the fact that you need to create an alternative solution to your economic predicament. This attitude is common among most great and wealthy achievers all over the word. Necessity is not necessarily the mother of invention, No! It is desire.

It takes persistence and total commitment to your goals

Many times,we look at high achievers and assume they had a string of lucky breaks or made it without much effort. Usually, the opposite is true, as the so-called superstar had an incredible amount of adversity before he or she attained any lasting success. It may motivate you more toward your own goals to know that some of the most famous and well-known people in modern times had to overcome difficult and disappointing obstacles as anyone before they finally reached the top. It takes persistence and total commitment to your goals to reach the top, but it is possible! Yes! It is possible to turn your setback into a stage for greatness. This will however require that you first develop a different mindset regarding your conditions, because you can not change what you get until you change the picture in your mind.

Different people have different reactions to similar conditions in life

The coffee can be described as those who change the adverse situations of life with the flavour of their skills,"can-do"mentality and the attitude of a WINNER.

Then finally on the story

She ask, "What's the meaning of this, Father?" He explained that each item had felt the same unfortunate and harsh condition-the boiling water. The strong and hard carrots became soft and weak after being in a boiling water for sometime. The fragile eggs with the thin epidermis covering the liquid became hard after being cooked. Coffee cores were very unique, in that they could change the boiling water."Who are you?" asked her father,"When difficulty and calamity knocks on your door, what is your reaction? Are you the carrots, the eggs, or the coffee?" The moral of the story is very clear.

The story continues

The girl waited impatiently, confused by what her father did. After approximately 20 minutes, her father turned off the stove, took out the carrots and put them in a bowl. He took the eggs and put them in a bowl. After that, he poured coffee into a cup.Turning back to his daughter,he asked, "My sweetheart, what do you see?" "Carrots,eggs,and coffee,"she replied. Her father asked her to touch the carrots. She did and felt that the carrots were soft. After that, he asked her to take the eggs and break them. After peeling them, she felt the eggs were cooked and hard. At last, the father asked her to smell the coffee. Don't miss the conclusion.

A story of a girl who grumbled to her father

A girl grumbled to her father about her hard life. She didn't know what to do and wanted to give up. She felt tired of fighting and fighting. One problem had been overcome, but the other overcame her. Her father, a cook, took her into the kitchen. He poured water into three pans and set them to boil. On boil, he put some carrots in the first pan, some eggs in the second pan and coffee in the third pan. He watched for some minutes without saying anything.

He carried a large bag of tools with him, and when he arrived, he immediately went to work. He inspected the engine very carefully, top to bottom.
