Subject: Have a cup of Coffee..

>Passing on what somebody sent to me....
>
>"Group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together
>to visit their old university lecturer. Conversation soon turned
>into complaints about stress in work life
>
>Offering his guests coffee, the lecturer went to the kitchen and
>returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups:
>porcelain, plastic, glass, some plain looking and some expensive and
>exquisite, telling them to help themselves to hot coffee.
>
>When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the lecturer
>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 better
>cups and are 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 folks, don't let the cups drive you...enjoy the coffee instead."
