The professor went to the kitchen and returned a pot of coffee and all kinds of cups-crystal(水晶的), glass, plastic, some nice looking, some plain looking, some , some cheap. And he told them to help to the coffee. When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said, "I've noticed that all the nice looking expensive cups were , leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is for you to take only the best for yourselves, that is the root of your and stress. You know that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, you consciously went for the best cups.
Now consider this.Life is the coffee. The jobs, money and in society are the cups. They are just to hold life. and the type of cup does not change the quality of our life. Sometimes, by only of the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee that God has us. God offers us the coffee, not the cups. Please enjoy your coffee ! "

Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak . And leave the rest to God.
