COFFEE OR CUP

Today I had a tiring day at work from 5am till 8pm. While getting pretty sleepy at work, I read this interesting article and decided to forward it to some friends... and I got some interesting replies as well... Check out the article below...

*** Coffee Or Cup?!? ***

The happiest people in the world are not those who have no problems, butthose who learn to live with things that are less than perfect."

A group of graduates, 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 the coffee.

When all the students had a cup of coffee, the professor said: "If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the simple and cheap ones. While it is 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 is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink. What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups... Then you began eyeing each other's cups.

Now consider this:
- 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 does not define, nor change the quality of Life we live.
- Sometimes, by concentrating on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee God has provided us. Enjoy your coffee!.

"The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything."

1. Live simply.
2. Love generously.
3. Care deeply.
4. Speak kindly.
5. Leave the rest to God

You are the miracle, my friend; Your life either shines a light OR casts a shadow!Shine a light & Enjoy the Coffee!!!

My friend asked.. then WHY people like to go STARBUCKS? haha..then I questioned her back...STARBUCKS coffee is nice what... Imagine the coffee sucks, would people still go?

Anyway, the main point here is the important thing lies within ourselves and not all the material stuff around us. It's our LIFE that matters the most. So, live our life to the fullest! = )
