A Cup of Coffee, 또는 한잔의 술?^^

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 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. 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 God has provided us."
 
God brews the coffee, not the cups . . . Enjoy your coffee!
 

"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.
Leave the rest to God.
 
Have a blessed day and

enjoy your coffee!

가슴에 와 닿은 좋은 글이구나. 단지 사우디 청년들의 하소연이 아니고, 진실은 담은 그릇에 좌우되지 않는다는 선문답(?)을 나누고 계시는겨, 시방!!

그렇지! 그러니 교수님은 왜 그릇 얘기를 하시나?
