Tuesday, September 01, 2009 @ 1:35 am ♥ was randomly browsing through many different people's blog, and i found something which inspire me and set me thinking.. A group of graduates, well established in their careers, were talking at a reunion and decided to go visit their old university professor, now retired. During their visit, the conversation turned to complaints about stress in their work and lives. Offering his guests hot chocolate, the professor went into the kitchen and returned with a large pot of hot chocolate and an assortment of cups - porcelain, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite - telling them to help themselves to the hot chocolate. When they all had a cup of hot chocolate in hand, the professor said, "Notice that all the nice looking, expensive cups were taken, 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. The cup that you're drinking from adds nothing to the quality of the hot chocolate. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink. What all of you really wanted was hot chocolate, 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 hot chocolate; your job, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain life. The cup you have does not define, nor change the quality of life you have. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the hot chocolate. The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything that they have." true enough, in life we do always want the best of everything, for example results in school. we want the best results so that we can stand out in the society in the future and also to prove our ability, yet competition do arise and people start to compare results to who do better and who lose out. quality matters, it just how we want it to be and people often see the outside and ignoring the beauty on the inside. if we take enough time to appreciate both sides, even the most uglist bad thing could become the most beautiful thing we have. “You can't change the past, but you can ruin the present by worrying about the future” |
