After leaving school for many years， a group of graduates （毕业生） visited their teacher． All of them complained about problems and stress in their work and life．
The teacher went to the kitchen and returned with a large bottle of coffee and many kinds of cups﹣china （瓷）， plastic and glass． He told them to help themselves to the coffee．
When all the students had a cup of coffee in their hands， the teacher said， "If you noticed， all the nice﹣looking and expensive cups had been taken， but the simple and cheap ones had been left behind． Although it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves， that is the source （根源）of your problems and stress． In fact， the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee． It is just a tool to contain （容纳） what we drink．"
What all of them really wanted was coffee， not the cups， but they all went for the best cups． And then they began to watch others' cups． Life is the coffee； jobs， money and the social position are the cups． The cups we have do not change the quality of our life．
Sometimes， if we only pay attention to the cup， we will fail to enjoy the coffee．
The happiest people don't have the best of everything． They just make the best of everything．

Some people around you look so cool and happy， but you often feel lonely． Or the friends you have do not really understand you that make you feel lonely， too． So what can be done when you have this feeling？
Understand people's differences
Not everyone has to do things the same way or behave the same way． Find people who have the same feeling． That is always a good basic for the friendship． You can take part in activities outside school like sports， art classes and dancing classes． There you can have more chances to find people who have the same interest as you．
Develop your friendship
Friendships do not just happen， and they need work． Phone your friends once in a while． Being there when they need you means that they will do the same for you．
Accept others' invitations
Even if someone invites you to a neighborhood street party， you never know who else will be there． Laughing and playing together could start a new friendship．
Start a club
Make your circle of friends big by starting a club． Going camping together or regularly （有规律地） going to the movies doesn't take much time．

Ma Yun is in his words
There are always many young people who want to learn something from me． In fact， I'm not as lucky as most of you． I tried 3 times for colleges but all failed． For the fourth time， I tried for the teachers' college and they accepted me． I applied（申请） for jobs for 30 times． You can guess the results． It was so difficult at that time． I was down but I didn't give up and fought on． So you can see a new Ma Yun now．
You are lucky enough． You are at the best time of this century． The best wealth you have is that you are young．
Among all the challenges， I think the biggest one is education． Something we teach our kids is too old． So we have to research what is the best way and what are the best things to teach our kids．
The future you face is not a competition for knowledge but a competition for creativity and imagination．
When people have problems， the chance will come． If you can solve them， then the chance will belong to you．
