Coffee And Life

Sometimes I have thoughts that I would like to share… but I have so much trouble putting
them down in words.. L-I-K-E T-H-I-S.
So I’m not too good at expressing myself, this I know it too well. And in english, trust me, it
can get pretty frustrating for me at times.
No matter how hard I try to twist and turn the words around or tear them all up into pieces..
it’s just not what I want to put across!
But now I’m glad to have found a good solution to it.

Why don’t I let someone else do the story-telling instead? *PHEW*

I got this from an email that a friend sent to me :) And I kinda like the story.
So I’ll leave you now to read on what this guy has to tell you...
(It’s a short one, but it’s really sweet as well. Enjoy!)

“
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 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 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. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to
enjoy the coffee in it."

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