One must be selfless

Vinegar in Adobo can be added as much as you want, which makes me think, is too much or too little vinegar good for everybody? Making of Adobo taught me that if I keep doing what I want, I can hurt many others; I must think of others and care for others before I choose my life. By being selfless, you can gain happiness and the way to other people’s hearts.

Everyone is equal despite their differences

When Adobo is finally made, there is a higher chance of its color being dark or light than you made it the last time, but despite the color, it is still Adobo. This taught me that no matter what the color, caste, religion of a human being, maybe they are all equal and must be treated equally.

In life, when we rush things, there is a huge chance that we will not get the desired outcome. Therefore, it is necessary to move slow and steady, the journey may be delayed, but you will get where you want to with the best results.

To summarize this, Adobo chicken is giving many life lessons that one should try to follow for a better tomorrow.
