Guest guest Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 font-family:Verdana;color:blue">A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university lecturer. Conversation soon turned into color:blue">complaints about stress in work and life. color:blue">Offering his guests coffee, the lecturer went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups: porcelain, color:blue">plastic, glass, some plain-looking and some expensive and exquisite, telling them to help themselves to hot coffee. font-family:Verdana;color:blue">When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the lecturer said: "If you noticed, all the nice-looking, expensive cups were taken up, leaving color:blue">behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is but normal for you to want 10.0pt;font-family:Verdana;color:blue">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 better cups and are eyeing each other's cups." font-family:Verdana;color:blue">"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 Verdana;color:blue">of Life doesn't change.Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee in it." --------------- color:blue">Have a nice day font-family:Tahoma;mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";color:blue"> font-family:Tahoma;mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";color:blue">With Best Regards, font-family:Tahoma;mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";color:blue"> font-family:Tahoma;mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";color:blue">Balachandran font-family:Tahoma;mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";color:blue"> font-family:Tahoma;mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";color:blue"> *********************************************************************************************************************************************************** DISCLAIMER : This email (including any attachments) is intended for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain material that is CONFIDENTIAL AND PRIVATE COMPANY INFORMATION.
