A group of established university alumni in their respective careers came together and went to their old college professors. Conversations are imminent and lead to complaints about stess in their work and life.
Offering his coffee guests, the professor went into the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and cups of various kinds - from porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, ordinary glasses, some expensive glasses and some very beautiful - and told his former students To pour his own coffee.
After all the students got a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said: "If you look at all the beautiful and expensive cups have been taken, all that remains is the usual and cheap glasses. Although it is normal for you to covet only the best for yourself, it is actually the source of the problem and the stress you are experiencing. "
"Make sure that the cup itself does not affect the quality of the coffee. In many cases, it is just more expensive and in some cases it even hides what we drink. What do you really want
Is coffee, not the cup, but you consciously take the best cups and then start paying attention to other people's cups. "
"Now consider this: Life is like coffee, whereas work, money and position in society are the cup. The cup is like a tool for holding and filling life. The type of cup we have does not define or replace the quality of life we live in. Often, because concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee God provides for us. "
God cooks and makes coffee, not his cup. So enjoy the coffee, do not cup it.
Realize if your life is more important than your work. If your work limits you and controls your life, you become vulnerable and vulnerable due to changing circumstances. Work will come and go, but it should not change you as a human being. Make sure you make life saving success in addition to your work.
