Life is a cup of Coffee...

Here is another beautiful story received by me. Its very touchy and informative. It shows our attitude towards life. So, here it goes....

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, some plain-looking and some expensive and exquisite, telling them to help themselves to hot 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 but normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress'.

What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the better cups and are eyeing each other's cups.' 'Now, if life is coffee, then the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life, but the quality of Life doesn't change. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee in it'

So don't let the cups drive you...enjoy the coffee instead.

Knowledge of Effort...:)

This is the mail which I received from my friend. I hope you all will also enjoy!

A giant ship engine failed. The ship's owners tried one expert after another, but none of them could figure out how to fix the engine.

Then they brought in an old man who had been fixing ships since he was a young. He carried a large bag of tools with him, and when he arrived, he immediately went to work.

He inspected the engine very carefully, top to bottom.

Two of the ship's owners were there, watching this man, hoping he would know what to do. After looking things over, the old man reached into his bag and pulled out a small hammer. He gently tapped something. Instantly, the engine lurched into life.

He carefully put his hammer away. The engine was fixed! A week later, the owners received a bill from the old man for ten thousand dollars.

"What?!" the owners exclaimed. "He hardly did anything!" So they wrote the old man a note saying, "Please send us an itemized bill."

The man sent a bill that read:

Tapping with a hammer $ 2.00
Knowing where to tap.. $ 9998.00
