The Parable of the Coffee Beans

Page 2: Parable of Coffee Bean

There was once an intelligent teacher who experimented the boiling water

Page 3: Parable of Coffee Bean

She put three pots of water over the fire.

Page 9: Parable of Coffee Bean

But the water had the colour and the wonderful smell of coffee.

The coffee powder disappeared.

Page 10: Parable of Coffee Bean

Then, she thought of her life as a teacher.

It is not always easy.

It is not always comfortable.

The life of a teacher is trying and difficult.

Page 11: Parable of Coffee Bean

We work very hard but get few results.

Things don’t happen as we wish.

People don’t treat us as we hope.

Page 12: Parable of Coffee Bean

The boiling water is like the problems in our life as teachers.

Page 14: Parable of Coffee Bean

We get exhausted.We lose hope.We give up.

We lose our fighting spirit.

Page 15: Parable of Coffee Bean

We can be like the eggs.

We start with a soft and sensitive heart.

We end up very hard and unfeeling inside.

Page 16: Parable of Coffee Bean

We become hard-hearted.

The warm feeling is gone, only bitterness remains.

We hate our job.We don’t like our students.

Page 17: Parable of Coffee Bean

We can be like the coffee beans.

The water does not change the coffee powder.

The coffee powder changes the

water!

Page 18: Parable of Coffee Bean

The water has become different because of the coffee powder.

You can see it.You can smell it.You can taste it.

The hotter the water, the better the taste.

Page 19: Parable of Coffee Bean

We can be like the coffee beans.

We can make something good out of the difficulties we face in school.

Page 20: Parable of Coffee Bean

We have the knowledge, the skills, and the abilities.

We have the potentials to change the lives of our students for the better.

Page 21: Parable of Coffee Bean

We can make our school a better place for work and learning.

Page 22: Parable of Coffee Bean

To succeed, we must try… and try again.We must believe in what we are doing.We must not give up.We must be patient.We must keep pushing.

Page 23: Parable of Coffee Bean

The problems and difficulties at school give us the chance to become stronger… and tougher …and better teachers.

Page 25: Parable of Coffee Bean

Be like the coffee beans!

Page 26: Parable of Coffee Bean

Change the people around you at school. Influence them with your good work…even if others resist change…

Page 27: Parable of Coffee Bean

…even if others harbor ill feelings against you.

Page 28: Parable of Coffee Bean

…be a positive influence. Bring about change!

After all, in the final

Analysis, God will be

your judge.
