A

A group of graduates, successful in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor£®Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life£®

Before offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and a variety of cups---porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking and cheap, some exquisite and expensive---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 were taken up, leaving behind the plain 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. And 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 only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee God has provided us£®"

God brews the coffee, not the cups£®Enjoy your coffee!

"The happiest people don't have the best of everything£®They just make the most of everything£®"

Live simply£®Love generously£®Care deeply£®Speak kindly£®Leave the rest to God£®
