When all the students had a cup of coffee in , the professor said: “If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up, behind the plain and cheap ones.

In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink. all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went the best cups. And then you began each other’s cups. Now consider this: Life is the ; 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 the quality of life we . Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we to enjoy the coffee God has for us. God brews the coffee, not the cups…Enjoy your coffee!”
