No Matter What The Coffee Cup is....

A Good reminder of what is happening to our lives since we left school. The things around is to support the life that we have but the quality of life do not depend on the things that we have or use as well. Ultimately, life is about being with people. Be real and be a blessing unto others. Hope this story reminds us what is really important in life.

'The happiest people in the world are not those who have no problems, but
those who learn to live with things that are less than perfect.'

A group of graduates, 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 guests 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 -
telling them to help themselves to the coffee.

When all the students had a cup of coffee, the professor said:
'If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving
behind the simple 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 itself 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, but you consciously went
for the best cups... Then you began eyeing each other's cups.'

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 on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee. Enjoy your coffee!.'
