For most teenagers like Chen, opening up to parents can be difficult—especially when it comes to important things. Therefore, they have to make sure the timing is right.

After leaving school for many years, a group of graduates (毕业生) visited their teacher. All of them complained about problems and stress in their work and life.
The teacher went to the kitchen and returned with a large bottle of coffee and many kinds of cups—china (瓷), plastic and glass. He told them to help themselves to the coffee.
When all the students had a cup of coffee in their hands, the teacher said, “If you noticed, all the nice-looking and expensive cups had been taken, but the simple and cheap ones had been left behind. Although it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source (根源)of your problems and stress. In fact, the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. it is just a tool to contain (容纳) what we drink.”
What all of them really wanted was coffee, not the cups, but they all went for the best cups. And then they began to watch others' cups. Life is the coffee; jobs, money and the social position are the cups. The cups we have do not change the quality of our life.
Sometimes, if we only pay attention to the cup, we will fail to enjoy the coffee.
The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything.
