Water

A group of working adults got together to visit their university professor. The professor was happy to see them. After a while, their conversation turned to complaining about stress in work and life.

The professor just smiled and went to the kitchen, returning with an assortment of cups - some made of porcelain, some made of plastic, some made of glass, some plain-looking and some looking expensive and exquisite.

The professor laid the cups and a jug of water on the table and gestured to his former students to help themselves.

When all the students had a cup with water in their 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 that you only want the best for yourselves, this is the source of your problems and stress. What you really wanted was water, not the cups, but each of you unconsciously chose the best cup."

"Your life is like the water, while your job, your money and your position in society are like the cups. They are just tools to support your life, but they don't determine the quality of your life."

"If you concentrate too much on the cup, you won't have time to enjoy the water in it."
