A group of alumni, Highly established in their careers,got together to visit an old
University Professor. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work
and life, then offering his guests coffee,the professor went into the kitchen and returned
with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups-paper,plastic,glass,crystal,porcelain,
some plain looking,some expensive and some exquisite-telling them to help
themselves to the coffee. when all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor
said;
" If you noticed,all the nice looking expensive cups have been taken up,leaving behind the plain
and cheap ones.While it's normal for u to want only the best for yourselves,that is the source of
your problems and stress"
Be assured that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee,in most cases it's just more expensive
and in some cases even hides what we drink. What all of u really wanted was coffee,not the cup,
but u consciously went for the best cups............and then u began eying each others cups.
Proverb; Here Life is the coffee.The jobs,Money and Position in society are the cups.
They r just tools to hold and contain life,and the type of cup we have doesn't define,nor change
the quality of life we live.
sometimes by concentrating only on the cup,we fail to enjoy the coffee ,savour the coffee
not the cups
" The Happiest people don't have the best of everything,but they just make out the best of
everything................."
