One day£¬when 12-year-old Sean Redden went to a popular chat room on the Internet, he saw the name of someone he¡¯d never seen there before, Susan Hicks. Her message was ¡° Would someone help me? I can¡¯t breathe. Help me! I can¡¯t feel my left side.¡±

At first, Sean thought it was a bad joke and he told his mother Sharon Redden. But she asked, ¡° It¡¯s not just some game, is it?

The message was not a joke. ¡° Susan Hicks¡± was actually 20-year-old Taija Laitinen, a student working late at night at a college library near Helsinki, Finland---almost 7,000 miles away from Sean¡¯s home in Texas. While searching the Internet, she began to feel terrible pain all through her body. The library was empty and the nearest phone was outside in the hallway. She couldn¡¯t move that far because any movement caused the pain to get worse. Then as the pain became worse, she began typing her message for help in the chat room.

¡°I don¡¯t think it¡¯s a joke, mom,¡± Sean said. He typed, ¡° Where are you? The letters appeared, ¡°Finland.¡± Sean and Sharon couldn¡¯t believe it. Not knowing what else to do, Sharon called the local police and explained the situation to officer Amy Schmidt. Schmidt told Sharon to try to get the sick girl¡¯s phone number and address.

Meanwhile, the Texas police called the international telephone operator and asked to be connected to the proper agency(»ú¹¹) in Finland. The Texas police explained the situation and gave Susan¡¯s address to the Finnish operator. When Sean heard that, he typed, ¡°Help is on the way.¡±

In the few minutes, the library door opened. Doctors and three policemen ran in. Taija turned once more to the computer, ¡° They are here. Thanks. Bye-bye.¡±

A group of graduates, successful in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor. Conversation 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¡ªporcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking and cheap, some exquisite and expensive¡ªtelling 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 ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. Be assured£¨È·Ðŵģ©that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink. What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously 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 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 live. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee God has provided for us.¡±

God brews£¨ÅÝ£¬Æ㣩the coffee, not the cups. Enjoy your coffee!

"The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything. "

Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God.
