You Will Never Know... (100 Blessings from GOD)
 
Picture
Every morning when I am preparing myself breakfast, I will always make myself a cup of coffee.
A cup of Coffee a day keeps my laziness away :) Haha.

However, I never realise one thing about coffee until today I read an article,
"Life is like a cup of coffee"

I was so amazed by article,
the theory and principle behind the story was simply amazing.
Not until I read this article,
I realise how life is REALLY like a cup of coffee.

Here's how the story goes ...

A group of alumni, 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 in hand, the professor said: "If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups have been taken up, leaving behind the plain 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... And then you began eyeing each other's cups, see who's cup is better than yours.


The story ends here.
You probably thinking in your mind that what does this professor really wanted to portrait.
Let me interpret this story to you :)

Let us just 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, 
we as human beings,
desire to concentrating only on the cup,
and that make us fail to enjoy the coffee. 

Savor the coffee,
not the cups! 

The happiest people in this world don't have the best of everything.
They just make the best of everything.

Live simply.
Love generously.
Care deeply.
Speak kindly.

And most important,
Trust and thank the Lord our God for everything :)

Hope you learn from this article,
remember what the bible says in Matthew 16:26,
"What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? 
Is anything worth more than your soul?"

Life is precious, every moment is precious,
God put you in this world not for the cups,
but to enjoy the coffee.

Warm and blessed regards,
Timothy.
