Enjoy Life!!!!!
A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together tovisit their old university lecturer. Conversation soon turned intocomplaints about stress in work and life.
Offering his guests coffee, the lecturer went to the kitchen and returnedwith a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups: porcelain, plastic,glass, some plain-looking and some expensive and exquisite, telling them tohelp themselves to hot coffee.
When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the lecturer said "Ifyou noticed, all the nice-looking, expensive cups were taken up, leavingbehind the plain and cheap ones. While it is but normal for you to wantonly the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems andstress."
"What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciouslywent for the better cups and are eyeing each other's cups. Now, if life iscoffee, then the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. Theyare just tools to hold and contain Life, but the quality of Life doesn'tchange. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy thecoffee in it."
So don't let the cups drive you...enjoy the coffee instead!!!
