| Your reaction matters more than what happens to you | Sua reação é mais importante do que o que acontece com você |
| Once upon a time a daughter complained to her father that her life was miserable and that she didn't know how she was going to make it. | Certa vez, uma filha reclamou com o pai que sua vida era miserável e que ela não sabia como iria sobreviver. |
| She was tired of fighting and struggling all the time. | Ela estava cansada de lutar e lutar o tempo todo. |
| It seemed just as one problem was solved, another one soon followed. | Parecia que, assim que um problema era resolvido, outro logo se apresentava. |
| Her father, a chef, took her to the kitchen. | Seu pai, um chef, a levou para a cozinha. |
| He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. | Ele encheu três panelas com água e colocou cada uma delas no fogo alto. |
| Once the three pots began to boil, he placed potatoes in one pot, eggs in the second pot, and ground coffee beans in the third pot. | Assim que as três panelas começaram a ferver, ele colocou as batatas em uma panela, os ovos na segunda e grãos de café na terceira. |
| He then let them sit and boil, without saying a word to his daughter. | Ele então os deixou assentar e ferver, sem dizer uma palavra à sua filha. |
| The daughter, moaned and impatiently waited, wondering what he was doing. | A filha gemia e esperava impacientemente, perguntando-se o que ele estava fazendo. |
| After twenty minutes he turned off the burners. | Depois de vinte minutos, ele desligou os queimadores. |
| He took the potatoes out of the pot and placed them in a bowl. | Ele tirou as batatas da panela e as colocou em uma tigela. |
| He pulled the boiled eggs out and placed them in a bowl. | Ele puxou os ovos cozidos e os colocou em uma tigela. |
| He then ladled the coffee out and placed it in a cup. | Ele então tirou o café com uma concha e o colocou em uma xícara. |
| Turning to her he asked. "Daughter, what do you see?" | Virando-se para ela, perguntou. "Filha, o que você vê?" |
| "Potatoes, eggs, and coffee," she hastily replied. | "Batatas, ovos e café", ela respondeu apressadamente. |
| "Look closer," he said, "and touch the potatoes." | "Olhe mais de perto", disse ele, "e toque nas batatas." |
| She did and noted that they were soft. | Ela obedeceu e observou que elas eram suaves. |
| He then asked her to take an egg and break it. | Ele então pediu a ela para pegar um ovo e quebrá-lo. |
| After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg. | Depois de retirar a casca, ela observou o ovo cozido. |
| Finally, he asked her to sip the coffee. | Finalmente, ele pediu a ela que tomasse um gole de café. |
| Its rich aroma brought a smile to her face. | Seu rico aroma trouxe um sorriso a seu rosto. |
| "Father, what does this mean?" she asked. | "Pai, o que isso significa?" ela perguntou. |
| He then explained that the potatoes, the eggs and coffee beans had each faced the same adversity: the boiling water. | Ele então explicou que as batatas, os ovos e os grãos de café enfrentaram a mesma adversidade: a água fervente. |
| However, each one reacted differently. | No entanto, cada um reagiu de forma diferente. |
| The potato went in strong, hard, and unrelenting, but in boiling water, it became soft and weak. | A batata entrou forte, dura e implacável, mas na água fervente, tornou-se macia e fraca. |
| The egg was fragile, with the thin outer shell protecting its liquid interior until it was put in the boiling water. | O ovo era frágil, com a fina casca externa protegendo seu interior líquido até que fosse colocado na água fervente. |
| Then the inside of the egg became hard. | Então o interior do ovo endureceu. |
| However, the ground coffee beans were unique. | No entanto, os grãos de café moídos eram únicos. |
| After they were exposed to the boiling water, they changed the water and created something new. | Depois de serem expostos à água fervente, eles mudaram a água e criaram algo novo. |
| "Which are you?", he asked his daughter. | "Quem é você?", ele perguntou à filha. |
| "When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a potato, an egg, or a coffee bean?" | "Quando a adversidade bate à sua porta, como você reage? Você é uma batata, um ovo ou um grão de café?" |
