A group of working adults got together to visit their University lecturer.The Lecturer was happy to see them. Conversation soon turned intocomplaints about stress in work and life.The Lecturer just smiled and went to the kitchen to get an assortment ofcups - some porcelain, some in plastic, some in glass, some plain lookingand some looked rather expensive and exquisite.The Lecturer offered his former students the cups to get drinks forthemselves.When all the students had a cup in hand with water, the Lecturer spoke: "Ifyou noticed, all the nice looking, expensive cups were taken up, leavingbehind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal that you only want thebest for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. Whatall you wanted was water, not the cup, but we unconsciously went for thebetter cups.""Just like in life, if Life is Water, then the jobs, money and position insociety are the cups. They are just tools to hold/maintain Life, but thequality of Life doesn't change.""If we only concentrate on the cup, we won't have time to enjoy or tastethe water in it."
