Reminder
I have to many things to update but I shall do so when the week ends... Im having loads of fun despite the tiring schedule with so many things happening at once! Hope you all do too! Anyways the excerpt below serves as a reminder to us..Enjoy!
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. It is, but normal for 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 Life, but the quality of Life
doesn't change. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to
enjoy the coffee in it."
So, don't let the cups drive you... enjoy the
coffee instead.
