A group of students got together to visit their old university professor. They talked about their troubles in work and life. After the professor had offered his guests a drink he went into the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and some cups—porcelain(瓷的)，plastic(塑料的), glass, crystal(水晶的), some plain looking，some beautiful and some expensive. The professor told them to help themselves to the coffee.

When all his students had a cup in hand，he said：“I don't know if you have noticed, but when all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up, the plain and cheap ones were left behind. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source(根源) of your problems and stress.”

“What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you went for the best cups and were eyeing each other's cups to see if they were better.”

Life is the coffee, and the jobs, money and title(头衔) 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. So, don't let the cups drive you. Enjoy the coffee instead.
