A group of adults, highly succeeded in their jobs, went to visit their old professor. Soon they began to
the stress in work and life.
The professor went to the kitchen and returned
a pot of coffee and all kinds of cups-crystal(水晶的), glass, plastic, some nice looking, some plain looking, some
, some cheap. And he told them to help
to the coffee. When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said, "I've noticed that all the nice looking expensive cups were
, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is
for you to take only the best for yourselves, that is the root of your
and stress. You know that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee.
you really wanted was coffee, not the cup,
you consciously went for the best cups.
Now consider this.Life is the coffee. The jobs, money and
in society are the cups. They are just
to hold life. and the type of cup does not change the quality of our life. Sometimes, by
only of the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee that God has
us. God offers us the coffee, not the cups. Please enjoy your coffee ! "
The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make
of everything.
Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak
. And leave the rest to God.
