How has your life been?
Unexpectedly, this question brought out our moans and complaints, as all of us talked about misfortunes in life: stressful work, troublesome life, failure in business, obstacles in career path… It seems everyone became the lost ones of the era.
Life is simple, really. As if there’s a heap of cups on the table, each with different outlooks, and different shapes: china, glass, plastic; some looked grand and elegant, others common and simple.
When you are thirsty, grab one out of the cups, pour the water and drink. Do you discover the cup in your hand is one of the beautiful and lovely one? Not the plastic ones.
Strange, it is not coz everyone hoped he would be holding the most beautiful cup. But, it is the origin of your troubles. We need water, not the cups, but we choose the beautiful cups unconsciously. Just like your life:
If life were water, work, money and status would be cups, which were just the tools for holding the water of life.
Truth is, whether the cup is good or bad, it doesn’t influence the quality of the water. If you only concentrate on the cup, how can you still have the mood to taste the sweetness and bitterness of water?
Isn’t this finding yourself troubles?…..
(…but then again, who does not want to have the most beautiful cup in hand?)
