A group of class friends,highly successful in their careers,got together to visit their old university professor .The conversation soon   36  into complaints about stress in work and life
Offering his guests coffee,the professor went to the 37 and returned with a large pot of coffee and a variety of  38  —porcelain,plastic,glass,crystal,some   39   -looking,some expensive,some delicate—telling them to  40 themselves to the coffee
When all the students had a cup of coffee in   41  ,the professor said:“If you noticed,all the nice-looking expensive cups were taken up, 42 behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to  43 only the best for yourselves,that is the  44 of your problems and stress.
Be assured that the cup itself  45 no quality to the coffee. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink .    46  all of you really wanted was coffee,not the cup,but you  47 went for the best cups.  And then you began   48 each other’s cups.
Now consider this:Life is the   49 ,the jobs,money and   50  in society are the cups . They are Just tools to hold and contain life,and the type of cup we have does not define nor change the quality of life we  51  . Sometimes,by concentrating only on the cup,we  52 to enjoy the coffee God has 53 us.  God brews the coffee,not the cups…Enjoy your coffee!”
The happiest people don’t have the best of everything . They Just 54 the best of everything .
Live simply.  Love generously.  Care deeply . Speak kindly . Leave the 55 to God .

The office has always been a place to get ahead. Unfortunately, It is also a place where a lot of natural resources start to fall behind. Take a look around next time you’re at work. See how many lights are left on when people leave. See how much paper is being wasted. How much electricity is being used to run computers that are left on. Look at how much water is being wasted in the rest-rooms. And how much solid waste is being thrown out in the rubbish cans. We bet it’s a lot.

Now, here are some simple ways you can produce less waste at work. When you are at the copier, only make the copies you need. Use both sides of the paper when writing something less important. Turn off your lights when you leave. Use a lower watt bulb in your lamp. Drink your coffee or tea out of your mugs instead of single-use cups. Set up a recycling box for cans and one for bottles. And when you’re in the bathroom brushing your teeth or washing your face, don’t let the tap run. Remember, if we use fewer resources today, we’ll save more for tomorrow.
