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. (café là quf biếu mà nhóm sv biếu GS.GS đi vào trong nhà bếp và trở lại với 1 ấm trà lớn và chia vào các tách bằng sứ,nhựa,thủy tinh,pha lê,một vài thứ trông có vẻ đắt.mọt vaifthuws trang nhã khác )
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.
"Because only Time is capable of understanding how valuable Love is."
Vẻ đẹp thật sự không nằm ở dáng vẻ bên ngoài mà ở trong trái tim. Chân giá trị không nằm trong những gì hữu hình mà nó tồn tại trong những cái vô hình. Tình thương yêu thật sự không nằm trong những việc đã được biết đến, nó hiện hữu nơi những gì được thực hiện trong thầm lặng...
