Coffee 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 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. 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 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. Some times, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee in it."

Don't let the cups matter... Enjoy the coffee instead.

Some line which makes you think......

"Don't go on brand name;

just wear those things in which you feel comfortable"

"Don't waste your money on unnecessary things;

just spend on them who really in need rather"
After all it's your life then why give chance
Live your life as simple as you are

Don't try to show off, just be your self and do what you enjoy doing
Always think how you can accomplish things economically

Don't buy more than what you "really need"

But most of all

"LIVE TODAY FOR YOU NOT FOR OTHERS"
