21、A group of graduates, quite successful in their businesses, got together to visit their old college teacher. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life.
Before offering his students coffee, the teacher went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and different kinds of cups—porcelain(瓷), plastic, glass, crystal, some plain-looking and cheap, some exquisite(精美的) and expensive—telling them to help themselves to the coffee. When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the teacher said, “If you notice, 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 place which your problems and stress come from.”
“Be sure that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. In most situations it is just more expensive and in some situations even hides what we think. What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you went for the best cups. And then you began watching each other’s cups.” “Now consider this: Life is the coffee; the jobs, money and position(地位) in society are the cups. They are just tools to contain(容纳) life, and the type of cup we have does not mean anything, and it doesn’t change the quality of life we live, either. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee.”
“The happiest people don’t have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything.”

【4】Where did the problems and stress in work and life come from?
