> I am sure this applies to many of us....

> 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. 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 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.
