Bible verse
For everything there is a season,
And a time for every matter under heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die;
A time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal;
A time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to throw away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to seek, and a time to lose;
A time to keep, and a time to throw away;
A time to tear, and a time to sew;
A time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate,
A time for war, and a time for peace.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A group of alumni, highly established in their careers,
got togetherto visit their old university professor.
Conversation soon turned into
complaints about stress in work and life.
Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and
returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups
-
porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite ---
telling them to help themselves to hot coffee.
When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand,
the professor said:"If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up,
leaving behind the plain and cheap ones.
While it is but
normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress.
What all of you really wanted was coffee,
not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups and
were eyeing each other's cups.
Now if life is coffee, then the jobs, money and position in society
are the cups.
They are just tools to hold and contain Life,
but the quality of Life doesn't change.
Some times, by concentrating only on the cup,
we fail to enjoy the coffee in it.
"So, don't let the cups drive you...
enjoy the coffee instead..."
