A group of alumni, decided to get together to visit their old university professor. The conversations soon turned into complaints about work, relationships and life.
Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with coffee and an assortment of cups – porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite!
When all of his old students had a cup of coffee in hand, they sat down together and the professor said: “If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups have been taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones.
It’s important to know that the cup itself adds no real quality to the coffee. In most cases it is just chosen because its perceived to be more special or expensive.
Life is a bit like the cup of coffee; the jobs, money possessions and position in society are the cups. They are just tools and structures that contain or hold together the current story of your life, and the type of cup we have does not define, nor change the quality of life we live.
Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee. Savour the coffee, not the cups! 
The happiest people don’t have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything :)
