Make the most of it..!!




A group of prestigious university graduates visited their old professor

During the visit the conversation turned to work, graduates were complaining about countless difficulties and problems of life.

After offering coffee to his guests, the professor went to the kitchen and came back with a coffee pot and tray, crowded with many different different cups; porcelain, glass, plastic and crystalline. Some cups were simple, other ones – expensive.

When the graduates picked out the cups, the professor said: notice, how all the beautiful cups which were picked out, and the simple and cheap ones were left.

And although it seems normal for you – wanting only the best thing for yourself is the source of your problems and stress.

You need to understand, that the cup doesn’t make the coffee better.

Most of the time its only more expensive, but sometimes it is hiding what we are drinking.

Actually, all that you wanted was the coffee, not the cup.

But you consciously choose the best cups, and then looked to see what cups other picked.

Life is the coffee.

Your job, money, position, society. They are the cups. They are only instruments for maintaining life.

The type of cup doesn’t determine the quality of life.

Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cups, we forget to enjoy the taste of coffee.

The happiest people are not those who have the best things, but those enjoy life and make the most of what they have.
