A group of adults, highly succeeded in their jobs, went to visit their old professor(教授). Soon they began to 1 the stress in work and life.

The professor went to the kitchen and returned 2 a pot of coffee and all kinds of cups — crystal (水晶的), glass, plastic; some nice looking, some plain looking; some 3 , some cheap. And he told them to help 4 to the coffee.

When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said, ＂I’ve noticed that all the nice looking expensive cups were 5 , leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is 6 for you to take only the best for yourselves, that is the root(根源) of your 7 and stress.

You know that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee, 8 you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, 9 you consciously went for the best cups.

Now consider this: Life is the coffee. The jobs, 10 and positions(職位) in society are the cups. They are just 11 to hold life, and the type of cup does not change the quality of our life. Sometimes, 12 concentrating(全神貫注) only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee that God has 13 us. God offers us the coffee, not the cups. Please enjoy your coffee!＂

The happiest people don’t have the best of everything. They just make 14 of everything.

Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak 15 . And leave the rest to God.
