【题目】A group of graduates, successful in their careers, got together to visit their old university professorConversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life

Before offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and a variety of cups porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking and cheap, some extremely expensive telling them to help themselves to the coffee

When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said: "If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap onesWhile it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stressThe fact is that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffeeIn most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drinkWhat all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously(有意识地)went for the best cups...And then you began eyeing each other's cups

Now consider this: Life is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society are the cupsThey are just tools to hold and contain Life, and the type of cup we have does not change the quality of life we liveSometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee God has provided us"God makes the coffee, not the cupsEnjoy your coffee!"The happiest people don't hve the best of everythingThey just make the best of everything"
