Subject: Life is the Coffee
> LIFE IS THE COFFEE
> A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to
> visit their old university professor. The 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, and some exquisite -
> telling them to help themselves to the coffee.
> After 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 but 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's 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 began eyeing each other's cups."
> "Now consider this: Life is the coffee. . .and the jobs, houses, cars,
> things, 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."
> "Being happy doesn't mean everything is perfect; it means you've decided
> to
> see beyond the imperfections."
