A group of old classmates，who have succeeded in their work，got together to visit their teacher．Their conversation soon turned to complaining（抱怨）about the stress（压力）in their work and life．The teacher went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and many cups．Some of the cups are expensive and lovely，but some are cheap and not beautiful．The teacher told them to help themselves to the coffee．
When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand，the teacher said，"Have you noticed all the nice﹣looking expensive cups were taken，leaving behind the cheap ones？it's OK for you to want only the best for yourselves，but that is why you have the stress in your work and life even if you're very successful now．"
"All of you really wanted the coffee，not the cups，but you chose the best cups and were eyeing each other's cups．"
"Now think about this，life is the coffee，and money and position in society are the cups．They are just tools to hold life．They do not change the quality （质量）of life．Sometimes，we just care about the cups，and we fail to enjoy the coffee．So，don't let the cups drive you，enjoy the coffee instead．"
