Coffees Wonder!

'The happiest people in the world are not those who have no problems, but those who learn to live with things that are less than perfect.'

A group of graduates, highly established in their careers, got together to
visit their old university professor. 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, some exquisite - telling them to help themselves to the
coffee.

When all the students had a cup of coffee, the professor said: 'If you
noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind
the simple and cheap ones. While it is 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 is
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... Then you began eyeing each
other's cups.'

Now consider this, said the professor,

'Life is the coffee; the
jobs, 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 on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee God has
provided us. Enjoy your coffee!'

The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just
make the
best of everything. Four things to take note of in life...

1. Live simply.
2. Love generously.
3. Care deeply.
4. Speak kindly.
