below is a email I received in one of my groups on yahoo. I found it pretty awesome and a real treat to read.
Enjoy the Coffee
Enjoy The Coffee (This is such a good one)
A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university
professor.
Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life. Offering his guests
coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups - porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal,
some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite - telling them to help themselves to the coffee.
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 but normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress.
Be assured that the cup itself, adds no quality to the coffee in most cases, 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 began eyeing each other's cups.
Now consider this: Life is the coffee, and 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 us."
God brews the coffee, not the cups..........enjoy your coffee
