Cup or Coffee

Nice thought: Cup or Coffee

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 hot coffee. When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said: "If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones.. While it is but normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups and were eyeing each other ' s cups.

Now if life is coffee, then the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life, but the quality of Life doesn't change. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee in it."

Moral: Don't let the cups drive you.. Enjoy the coffee instead.

Speech by Bryan Dyson (CEO of Coca Cola)

"Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them - work, family, health, Friends and spirit and you're keeping all of these in the Air.  

You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball.  

If you drop it, it will bounce back.  

But the other four Balls - Family, Health, Friends and Spirit - are made of glass. If you drop one of these; they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for Balance in your life."

A lazy rainy weekend!

When weekends get rainy, what do you do? Well…laziness creep into your nerves, n a lazy head like me hardly leaves the bed… :)
My customized alarm shouted around 10'o clock…a failure attempt to wake me…an immediate response with a thud, shut it for next morning shout…
Oh! feeling heavy at head..probably a signal which says…have some shame, push off the bed! 1'o clock I managed to get rolling…after a brief refreshment, got myself stationed before the TV.
1 to 80 n 80 to 1…well those r the channels I was surfing, hardly found anything worth to stick to. Meanwhile the morning breakfast was already waiting cold to complete its purpose. I helped it!
Cratling noise of the crockery came to my ears..hey! it's our cook n my roomie working keenly on today's lunch menu. Uuuuuuu…I must take a quick bath!
It was a delicious lunch, full at stomach, time again for a short knap…sleepy head huh!
My stupid cell, never keeps its mouth shut! With the same irritation I picked the call…Who's this??....hey! how r u?? howz life?? It's one of my close friend, who took a new number.
The chit chat continued for an hour…at end of it instead of resting my ears, I watered my mouth with freezed ice-cream. Yummy!!
Well....one third of the day is almost over…got confused about what's next?? Twitted n scribbled around till my fingers started paining…
Time again for the supper…an awesome mouth watering chicken recipe formed part of the day's last meal…
So sleep food sleep food sleep food n finally sleep completes one day of my weekend!
Take my words sometimes no activity becomes lot of activities on a lazy day like this!
Have fun!!
