Many times in our life we will think about ourselves and our life. But maybe no one can answer exactly what the true meaning of life is. Now let us step into the following story. It may give you something helpful for the question.
A group of graduates, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor. They held a heated conversation and the conversation lasted for a long time.
Then the conversation turned into complaints about stress in work and in life. Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and a lot of cups-porcelain (瓷的), plastic, glass, crystal, some plain-looking, some expensive, some perfect telling them to help themselves to the coffee.
When all the students __________, 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.
OK, now we can say what all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups and were 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 do not change the quality of life. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee. So, don't let the cups drive you run in a wrong direction. Instead we should really learn to enjoy the coffee in life.
Remember it forever! OK?
