Coffee for thought
A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together
to visit their old university professor. The 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, and some exquisite - telling them to help themselves to the
coffee.
After all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, t he professor
said: b 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. Be assured that the cup itself adds no
quality to the coffee. In most cases, it's just more expensive and in
was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups and then began eyeing each other's cups.
Now consider this: Life is the coffee, and the jobs, money and
position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and
change the quality of life we live. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee God has provided us.
God brews the coffee, not the cups . . . . Enjoy your coffee.
