A small story For Professionals

I have a small story for professionals , A group of Alumni highly established in their careers ,got together to visit their old professor. They were talking to each other and the Conversation suddenly turned into COMPLAINTS about stress in work and in life. The professor then went into kitchen and returned with a large pot of Coffee and a assortment of cups - plastic, glass,plain looking , some expensive - 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 plain and cheap ones. What all of you wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups and were eying on each others cups." Now Consider this: " LIFE IS A COFFEE AND THE JOBS, MONEY AND POSITION IN SOCIETY ARE THE CUPS. They are just and contain life, and do not change the quality of life . sometimes, concentrating on only one cup , we fail to enjoy the coffee god has provided . So Don't let the cups drive you..... enjoy the coffee instead." Finally ... While it is normal for all of us to have the best for us ,that is the source for the problems and stress. hi Friends how to you understand this small story and please do comment on this....

Sometimes people need reality check. This is one of those. Yes, it's the coffee and not the cup. Cheers!
