What do you choose? Wise parable about our desires.

Anonim

Not always, what you think - you really need. A wise lesson on how to put my desires in the first place, to correct them and enjoy the result. Forget about the dear wrap, it is not needed.

A group of graduates who have been successful who made a wonderful career came to visit their old professor. Of course, soon the conversation went about work - graduates complained about numerous difficulties and vital problems. Having proposed to their guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a coffee pot and a tray, tired of the most different cups - porcelain, glass, plastic, crystal and simple, and expensive, and sophisticated. When graduates disassembled cups, Professor said: "If you notice, all the expensive cups are dismantled. No one has chosen the cups simple and cheap. The desire to have only the best and there is a source of your problems. Understand that the cup itself does not make coffee better. Sometimes it is just more expensive, and sometimes even hides the fact that we drink. What you really wanted was coffee, not a cup. But you deliberately chose the best cups. And then looked at someone who got it. And now think: life is coffee, and work, money, position, society is a cup. These are just tools for storing life. What kind of cup we have does not determine and does not change the quality of our life. Sometimes, concentrating only on the cup, we forget to enjoy the taste of the coffee itself. Enjoy your "coffee"!
