Greetings!
Let me share a story that holds a valuable lesson. I recently cooked some ramen noodles in a glass soup mug and added them to a cup of chicken noodle soup. While transferring the hot mug to the sink, I realized I wasn't being careful and put it under cold water instead of letting it cool off first. As a result, I heard a crackling sound, and the mug broke.
Well, surprise, surprise, crack, crack, crack was the sound I heard. Oh dear, I exclaimed. I should've let the soup mug cool off; instead, I was running cold water instead of hot water, which would have matched the intensity of the present heat.
Lesson to learn: When we are under pressure, we must allow ample time to cool off; otherwise, we will crack under pressure, just like the glass mug I used for the ramen noodles. It was a lesson to learn that we must always take the necessary precautions when handling hot items, especially when in a hurry or distracted. We need to give ourselves ample time to cool off, or we might end up making mistakes that we'll regret later.
So, it's always better to be cautious and attentive while dealing with hot objects.
When we're in a rush, we must be patient and give ourselves time to cool off before making any decisions. This story helps us to learn from our mistakes and avoid repeating them in the future.
Under Pressure but Not Defeated,
Minister Sylvia Joyner
