Life is like a cup of coffee

A group of graduates, established in their careers, gather to visit their old university professor. Soon the conversation turns to complaints about the stress of work and life.

Offering coffee to his guests, the professor goes into the kitchen and returns with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of glasses—porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain, some expensive, some fancy—telling them to choose and pour their coffee.

When all the graduates take a cup of coffee in hand, the professor says, “If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups are taken, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. Although it is normal to want only the best for yourself, this is the source of your problems and stress.

Rest assured that the cup itself does not add any quality to the coffee. In most cases it's just more expensive and in some cases it even hides what we're drinking. What you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously chose the best cups. Start watching your cups.

Now consider this: Life is coffee; jobs, money and social standing are the cups. They are simply tools to contain and contain Life, and the type of cup we have does not determine or change the quality of life we live.

Sometimes, concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee. Enjoy the coffee, not the cups! The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything. Just live. Love generously. Take care. Speak kindly.
