Smell the Coffee


Hi all,I read this little story somewhere and found it worth sharing......so here it goes...
A group of young professionals thought of giving a pleasant visit to their former teacher.After greetings n all...were exchanged and general conversation was going on,the teacher observed that all of them...at some point or the other,complained of a stressful life.
He went up to his kitchen and made them coffee.He poured it in cups-some stylish expensive ones and some ordinary.As expected,most of them readily picked up the expensive ones,as everyone wants the best for him.
The teacher remarked-That's the problem,my friends.Your life is coffee,poured in cups of money,jobs and societal position.You should be concerned with coffee.But you are envying your cups which are just tools to hold it. So smell the coffee...take in its aroma...as Content Matters.Not the Container!

Hmmm... A really deep thought and yes may be the concentration should be on the coffee but if the coffee is different in different cups then definitely the better coffee... If the coffee in each of the cups is same then may be the better cup... just a thought... I have a bit of habit of expressing myself :) hope you don't mind...
Your first comment and follower...
