WHAT IS LIFE?

WHAT IS LIFE?

 
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 in life. Offering his
guests coffee, the pro fessor 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 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
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 consider this: *Life is the coffee*, and the jobs, money and
position in society/* are the cups*/. They are just tools to hold and
contain Life, and do not change the quality of Life. *Sometimes, by
concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee"*

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