Life is Just liked a Cup of Coffee

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, said the professor, '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 God has provided us.


Enjoy your coffee!'

The happiest people don't have the best of

everything. They just make the best of everything.

Four things to take note of in life...

1. Live simply.

2. Love generously.

3. Care deeply.

4. Speak kindly.
