Conversation soon turned into 1 about stress in work and life. Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and 2 with a large pot of coffee and a variety of cups-porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some graceful-telling them to 3 themselves to the coffee. When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said. " 4 you noticed, 5 the nice looking expensive cups were 6 , leaving behind the 7 and cheap ones. 8 it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the 9 of your problems and stress.
