eggs boiling vs life

first of all... *sigh.

why?

i suppose to prepare myself 2 half boiled eggs for breakfast this morning and ended up to be 98% boiled eggs. what an egg boiler failure. then while i was eating, my mind was trying to diagnose my mistake, i accidently realised that life is similar to boiling eggs.

i will not know how long it takes to boil a quarter boiled, half boiled, three quarter boiled or boiled egg unless i start trying to boil one. in reality, we will not know if whatever suit us not or we like it not unless we try it out.

when i have tried boiling, i may get the half boiled eggs right or i may get other kinds of eggs instead. similarly in life, when we already have the aims in mind, we dont always achieve what we want and sometimes we are slapped with disappointments.

but in order to get my half boiled eggs, i trying boiling and boiling until i'm able to estimate the time and get good half boiled eggs. in reality, even though we fail, we continue to fight till we fulfill our dreams.

when i keep having raw eggs as the result, i finally change my method of boiling by dumping the eggs into the kettle and let them boil with the water. in reality, when we keep failing, we will change strategies or consulting friends, family, counsellor or anyone we feel comfortable.

even its raw, i still swallow them no matter what because they are my breakfast and continue my day as i've taken a great breakfast. in reality, even though we are facing difficult times and struggling, still, we keep on going and continue living like how its suppose to be.

so i try and try, never letting the raw eggs haunt me. as i tried, i'm getting better. similarly, don't be easily knocked down but when we practise more, we will and are getting better.

then when i already good at boiling eggs using the wok but because wok is unavailable, i use kettle back. as the result, i ate 98% boiled eggs today instead of half boiled eggs. in reality, we will not always in our comfort zone. we will be facing lotsa changes and bad things may happen when we are new or relocate.

but because i have experiences in boiling eggs using kettle, my skills in boiling wont be that suckz. so, today will be the control and i will improve by tomorrow by changing the independant variable. similarly, when we have experiences, we can survive in anywhere. our mistakes today will be lessons for tomorrow.

however, i will not know what kind of eggs i've boiled until i break them. just like our lives, we will not know what will happen to us unless we keep on moving, looking forward and reach for the day.

so ya, thats what i've figured out.
