Reality of life 2010



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 in 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 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 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 consider this: Life is the coffee, and the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to
hold and contain Life, and do not change the quality of Life. Sometimes, by concentrating only on
the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee God has provided."

So, don't let the cups drive you ... enjoy the coffee instead.

hope u guys don’t loose the things just for the asthetic look …
