Facts of Life (Cup or Coffe)

idea posted by Mr. Rommy Disoza Freelancer, Freelancer

The happiest people in the world are not those who have no problems, but those who learn to live with things that are less than perfect.”

A group of graduates, highly established in their careers, got together to 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 the coffee.

When all the students had a cup of coffee, the professor said: “If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the simple and cheap ones.
While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress.
Be assured that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee.
In most cases, it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink.
What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you
Consciously went for the best cups… Then you began eyeing each other’s cups.

 Now consider this:
- Life is the coffee; 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 change the quality of Life we live.
- Sometimes, by concentrating on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee God has provided us. Enjoy your coffee!.”

 The happiest people don’t have the best of everything.
 They just make the best of everything.”

1. Live simply.
2. Love generously.
3. Care deeply.
4. Speak kindly.
5. Leave the rest to God.

You are the miracle, my friend;
Your life either shines a light OR casts a shadow!
Shine a light & Enjoy the Coffee!!!

Modification Brings The Difficulty

idea posted by Nitin Mehra Software Developer, ROBOMAN MICROSYSTEMS

lets consider a statement I tried to became something really very hard, but i couldn't be. What should i do i am not satisfied with my condition and it gives me a lot of tension. this is not a voice of a person it is the voice of all the person. i am on the this step however i deserve to be on the next step. i tried to be on the next step but i couldn't be, i am depressed. what the people is doing? they are ignoring their failure. mostly person do that. they never accept their failure. Also what one would do he would try to escape from the responsibility of failure. it is very hard step to take i.e. to accept failure of yourself. because it hurts our ego. we try to find out a cause and would give all our blame to that cause. and that cause may be a person or any other thing. we are full of fear. the fear of failure. When we see a person who is more successful than ours. we will say it is his destiny that he is successful but i have more intelligence than him. we are not accepting that someone has more mind than ourselves. so Leave the Ego and accept who you are as a whole. do not try to modify yourself by making a false shell around you. present yourself as you are. you will see things will be change rapidly. you will find a satisfaction of being you. because till today you are not living as you but you are living as you want to show your to others. leave this showing. leave the fear people will accept you as you are or not. you will find then the true people around you because you are not false nothing false can be with you. nothing negative can be with you.

yeah that is right. but when we go for accepting the other as a whole we are talking about the relationship between others and us. our concentration is in that case will not be us. in that case concentration will be on the relationship between we and others. when we accept others as a whole we are very much concerned about the relationship and when we accept us as a whole we are concerned with ourselves. now lets take a look suppose you accept your success and failure, you accept yourself as you are and show as you  are. now you accept others as a whole there is no guarantee that he or she didn't create a shell around them and they are showing you as they are not and you accept them as a whole. what you are doing? you are just maintaining the relationship between you and other. you are able to accept him or her as a whole because you have accept you as a whole. now it doesn't matter what a person is showing to you and how he is actually. now when you accept your failure it means you are simultaneously accept the victory of other. which you may call the acceptance of other but in depth you will see you are accepting the failure of yourself.

May I take the liberty of adding something. It is not the question of accepting you as a whole. It is the question of accepting others as a whole (with all the negetive and positive qualities) That gives peace of mind, rather inner piece.

The life is all about reaction.The life reacts to fulfillment.The one sees in it the environment as is in the 'CUP' and the other sees contents as is the 'COFFEE'. Both are positives ingredients to appreciate the offerings.

The cup and coffe according to me

idea posted by Nitin Mehra Software Developer, ROBOMAN MICROSYSTEMS

I tried to understand the thing about cup and coffee and as i think coffee is we ourselves. and cup is the outer shell we create for others. cup hide coffee means what we show to others is not exactly as we are. we hide ourselves by a shell and try to represented a total different type of ourselves. because we focused on the shell and we behave like shell but we internally know that we are not like that. we are coffee not the cup. how can we satisfied? then if you are coffee present yourself as coffee not as cup.
