A group of graduates, successful in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor. Conversation soon turned into complaints about
36 in work and life.
Before offering his guests
37 , the professor went to the kitchen and
38 with a large pot of coffee and a variety of cups -- porcelain（瓷）, plastic, glass, crystal, some
39 and cheap, some exquisite（精致的）and
40 -- telling them to help themselves to the coffee.
When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said: “If you
41 , all the nice-looking expensive cups were
42 up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is
__43 for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the
44 of your problems and stress. Be assured that the cup itself
45 no quality to the coffee. In most cases
46 is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink. What all of you
47 wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously
48 for the best cups... And then you began eyeing each other’s cups.
Now consider this:
49 is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to
50 life, and the type of cup we have does not define（规定）, nor change the
51 of life we live. Sometimes,
by
52 only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee God has offered us.
God brews（酿造）the coffee, not the cups. Enjoy your coffee!
“The
53 people don’t have the best of everything: They just
54 the best of everything.”
Live simply. Love
55 . Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God.
