Life is like a cup of coffee
----------------------------

A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor.
conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life.

Offering
his guest coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a
large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups porcelain, plastic, glass,
crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite. He told
his guests to help themselves to the coffee.
After everyone had a
cup of coffee in hand, the professor said : "If yo noticed, all the ice
looking expensive cups have been taken up, leaving behind the plain and
cheap ones. while it is normal for you to want only the best for
yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. Be assured
that the cup adds no quality to the coffee. In most cases it is just
more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink. what all of
you really wanted was coffee, not the cup. ut you consciously went for
the best cups... and then you began eyeing each other's cups to see who
had the best one. Now, consider this... Life is the coffee; the jobs,
money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold
and contain LIFE and the type of cup we have does not define, nor change
the quality of life we live. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the
cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee. Savor the coffee, not the cups! The
happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the
best of everything. Live simply. Speak kindly. care deeply. love
generously. Life is like a cup of coffee"
