Coffee......


A  group  of  alumni,  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  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 hot coffee.

When  all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said: "If you  noticed,  all  the  nice looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind  the  plain  and  cheap ones. While it is but normal for you to want only  the  best  for  yourselves,  that  is the source of your problems and stress.

What  all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups and were eyeing each other's cups.

" Now if life is coffee , then the jobs, money and position in society are the  cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life, but the quality of Life  doesn't change. Some times, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee in it."

So folks, don't let the cups drive you..., enjoy the coffee instead.

GOOD is not GOOD where BETTER is EXPECTED and the BEST is POSSIBLE!!!!!
