The Coffee Bean by Jon Gordon

A Simple Lesson to Create Positive Change

A concise parable uses the metaphor of boiling water—where a carrot softens, an egg hardens, and a coffee bean transforms the water—to show that adversity can either change you or be changed by you. Guided by a mentor’s simple lesson, a young person learns to cultivate inner strength, positivity, and purposeful action, choosing to influence their environment rather than be defined by it in school, work, and life.
