Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the and returned with a large pot of coffee and some —porcelain(瓷的), plastic, glass, crystal(水晶的).Some were cheap, while others were expensive. He told them to one for themselves to the coffee.
When all the students had a cup of coffee in each ,the professor said:“If you noticed,everyone had chosen the nice looking expensive cups , behind the cheap ones. While it is natural for you to choose only the best for yourselves, that’s you always feel so stressed out.Be sure that the cup itself does not make the coffee taste . What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, you consciously (自觉地) chose the best cups.Now consider this:Life is the ; the jobs, money and success are the cups. They are only to hold life, and the type of cup does not mean anything. Sometimes, by concentrating only the cup, we to enjoy the coffee God has made for us. ”
