A group of classmates got together to visit their old teacher. These classmates all had good jobs and made lots of money. They talked (happy). The teacher asked them the difficulty they had (achieve) their dreams. Then their talk soon turned to complaining about the stress in work and life. The teacher went to kitchen and came back with a large pot of coffee and many cups-china ones, plastic ones and glass ones. Some are plain looking, some are expensive and some are lovely. The teacher told them to help (they)to the coffee.
When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the teacher said, “Can you notice that all of you took nice-looking expensive cups, leaving the plain and cheap ones? You want only the best for yourselves,is the source of your problems.”
“What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, you went for the best cups and then began looking at each other's cups.”
“Now think about this: life is the coffee, and the jobs, money and position in society (be) the cups. They are just (tool) to hold, and do not change the life. Sometimes, by caring only about the cups, we fail (enjoy) the coffee. So don't let the cups drive you, and enjoy the coffee instead.”
