Nice one......................
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 normal for each of
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."
So, don't let the cups only drive you... enjoy the coffee (instead)
also....
Failure is not when we fall down; it is when you don't get up again.
