The coffee experience
Good day beloved reader, today I want to share with you a
lesson I learnt from taking coffee.
Hoping to meet my deadline for submission of an assignment,
I decided to stay awake throughout the night together with some friends. In
view of this, we bought ourselves Nescafé to take in the night whiles doing the
assignment.
I noticed something wonderful about the coffee which got me
thinking. Raw coffee smells so good but taste sour on the tongue. So I asked,
how can something that smells so good taste this sour?
This is what I learnt. Let us look at the human head as a
community with the nose and the tongue as members in the community. Unless you are not feeling well, these organs
(members) are experts in whatever they do and you can count on their judgement.
In the case of coffee, one says it is good and the other
says it’s bad. Now whose judgement would you believe?
I proceeded to adding hot water, sugar and milk to the raw
coffee and the tongue gave me a different judgment. The judgement of the two
neighbours were now correlating.
Unlike the nose, the tongue
stays in the mouth, the part of the body with which we make confessions (talk),”
Rom
10:9 “. So after tasting with the tongue the mouth can proclaim the
proposition made by the nose to the whole wide world, so people can embrace it.
The first member (nose) understood that coffee was good, but
the second member (tongue) had to wait for the additives to accept the
proposition by the first.
Enough of the imagery work now, let’s gets to the root of
our lesson
This coffee experience has taught me to add value to
myself. My raw brilliant ideas and
solutions may taste sour to the tongue, until I add value to them they will
always remain sour.
You can be a woman but if you add virtue to yourself your
name becomes a woman of virtue, similarly you can be a man but if you add
excellence you are called a man of excellence.
When value is added the mouth will eventually confess to the
world, that coffee does not only smell good, it also taste very good.
Thank you.
