A group of adults, highly succeeded in their jobs, went to visit their old professor(教授). Soon they began to about the stress in work and life.
The professor went to the kitchen and returned a pot of coffee and all kinds of cups—crystal(水晶的), glass, plastic, some nice looking, some plain looking, some , some cheap. And he told them to help to the coffee.
When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said, “I’ve noticed that all the nice looking expensive cups were up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the cause of your and stress. You know that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, you went for the best cups.”
Now think about this: Lifis the coffee, the jobs, money and in society are the cups. They are just to hold and contain life, and the type of cup does not change the quality of our life. Sometimes, by paying only to the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee that God has us. God gave us the coffee, not the cups. Please enjoy your coffee!
