Parable about coffee
Friends sent a wonderful parable to meil. Hooked! Strengthened my worldview. I decided to share it with the habrasoobshchestvom ...
A group of successful graduates who made a wonderful career came to visit their old professor. Of course, soon the conversation turned to work - graduates complained of numerous difficulties and life problems. Having offered coffee to his guests, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a coffee pot and a tray lined with a variety of cups - porcelain, glass, plastic, crystal and simple, and expensive, and refined.
When the graduates disassembled the cups, the professor said: “If you notice, all the expensive cups are dismantled. No one chose cups simple and cheap. The desire to have for yourself only the best is the source of your problems. Understand that the cup itself does not make the coffee better. Sometimes it is just more expensive, and sometimes even hides what we drink. What you really wanted was coffee, not a cup. But you deliberately chose the best cups. And then they looked at who got the cup.
And now think: life is coffee, and work, money, position, society are cups. These are just tools for storing Life. What cup we have does not determine and does not change the quality of our Life. Sometimes, concentrating only on the cup, we forget to enjoy the taste of the coffee itself. Enjoy your coffee !!!

The happiest people are not those who have the best, but those who get the best from what they have. Life is short - break the rules - forgive quickly - kiss slowly - love sincerely - laugh uncontrollably.
