Enjoy the coffee, instead of the cup~

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 the coffee.

When all his former 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 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 God has
provided."

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