After a while, the conversation turned into complaints about the stress of work and life.

Some look ordinary, valuable, some exquisite workmanship-let them pour their own coffee.

When all thestudents had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said

When all the students had a cup of coffee in their hands, the professor said:

"If you havenoticed, all the nice-looking expensive cups have been taken up, leaving behindthe plain and cheap ones. While it is normal foryou to want only the best foryourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress."

"if you pay attention, you will find that all the good-looking and expensive cups have been picked out, leaving only the ordinary and cheap ones. Of course, it's normal that everyone just wants the best, but it's also the root of your problems and stress. "

"Be assuredthat the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. In most cases it is justmore expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink."

"to be sure, the cup itself has nothing to do with the quality of coffee. In many cases, cups make coffee more expensive, and in some cases, we can't even see what we're drinking. "

"What all ofyou really want is coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the bestcups... And then you began eyeing each other's cups.

"what you really want is coffee, not cups, but you all subconsciously choose the best cups and observe the cups that others get."

"Now considerthis: Life is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups.They are just tools to hold and contain life, and the type of cup we have doesnot define, nor change the quality of life we live. Sometimes, by concentratingonly on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee. Savor the coffee, not the cuppings donated by not the let the cups drive you... enjoy the coffee instead."

"now imagine: if life is coffee in a cup, jobs, wealth and social status are those cups. They are just tools to maintain life and do not change the quality of life. Sometimes we pay too much attention to the cup and forget to taste the coffee given by God. So, don't be a slave to the cup. Savor the coffee in the cup. "
