A group of adults, highly succeeded in their jobs, went to visit their old professor. Soon they began to c{#blank#}1{#/blank#} the stress in work and life.

    The professor went to the kitchen and returned with a pot of coffee and all kinds of cups—crystal(水晶的), glass, plastic; some nice looking, some plain looking, some expensive, some cheap. And he told them to help t{#blank#}2{#/blank#} to the coffee.

    When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said, "I've noticed that all the nice looking expensive cups were t{#blank#}3{#/blank#}, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is n{#blank#}4{#/blank#} for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your p{#blank#}5{#/blank#} and stress.

    You know that the cup itself a{#blank#}6{#/blank#} no quality to the coffee. What you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups.

    Now consider this: Life is the coffee; the jobs, money and positions in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold life, and the t{#blank#}7{#/blank#} of cup does not change the quality of our life. Sometimes, by c{#blank#}8{#/blank#} only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee that God has p{#blank#}9{#/blank#} us. God gave us the coffee, not the cups. Please enjoy your coffee!

    The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything. Live simply. Love feverously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. And leave the r{#blank#}10{#/blank#} to God.
