A group of adults, who succeeded in their jobs, went to visit their old professor. Soon they began to complain about the trouble and stress in their work and life.
The ____ went to the kitchen and returned ____ a pot of coffee and all kinds of cups — crystal （水晶的）, glass, plastic; some nice looking, some ordinary looking; some ____, some cheap. And he told them to help themselves 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 ____, leaving behind the ordinary and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to achieve only the best for yourselves, that is the root (根) of your ____ and stress.
You know that the cup itself ____ no quality to the coffee. What you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, ____ you all reached for the best cups.
Now consider this: Life is the coffee. The jobs, money and ____ in society are the cups. They are just ____ to hold life, and the kind of cup does not change the quality of our life. Sometimes, paying too much attention to the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee that God has offered us. God offers us the coffee, not the cups. Please enjoy your coffee!”
