The first thought that came to my mind
on seeing the title BUT before seeing the video was
"When life is like coffee, the wife is like pillow"
A real good video with a real good message. :thumb:
I have enrolled to be among the first to watch the future videos.
Thank you for this beautiful post! :pray2:
 

Here is the story to read and reread!! :ranger:

Life is Like a Cup of Coffee.

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. When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said: "If you noticed, all the nice

looking expensive cups have been 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.

Be assured that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. In most cases it is 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 you began eyeing each other's cups. Now consider this: Life is the coffee; 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.

Savor the coffee, not the cups! The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best

of everything.

Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. :angel:
