Then their talk soon turned to talking about the stress (d压力) in work and life, The teacher went to kitchen and came back with a large pot of coffee and many—China ones, plastic ones and glass ones. Some are plain looking, some are expensive and some are lovely. The teacher told them to help to the coffee.
When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the teacher said,“ Can you notice that all of you took nice-looking expensive cups, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones? You want only thefor yourselves, and it is the source of your problems.”
“What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup you went for the best cups and then began looking at each other's cups.”
“Now about this; life is the coffee, and the jobs, money and position in society the cups. They are just tools to hold, and do not change the life. Sometimes, by caring only about the cups, we to enjoy the coffee. don't let the cups drive you, and enjoy the coffee instead.”
