The happiest people don’t own the best of everything.

A group of ex students, now with successful careers, have agreed to meet again. They decided to visit the now retired professor, who always delighted them with his wisdom during their studies.
In the conversation, they touched on the problems in their lives, caused by stress, unsettled relationships and lack of free time.
The professor offered the guests hot chocolate and went to the kitchen. He returned with a large bowl of chocolate and various cups. Some were of porcelain, others of glass and crystal; some of them looked very precious and others cheap. He asked them each to choose one cup.
When they filled the cups with chocolate, the professor, as in his student days, began to think.
"I noticed that you first took nice and expensive cups, and in the end only the simple and cheap ones remained. That you want only the best for yourself is the cause of your problems and stress. The cup you drink from does not give anything to the quality of the chocolate taste. It’s just more expensive and sometimes hides what we actually drink. Each of you craved only hot chocolate. You didn’t want a cup. But you still consciously chose the best. And soon you will start comparing yours with other cups. Now friends, please think about it. Life is like hot chocolate. Work, money and position in society are cups. They are just a tool to support and master life. The cup does not define your life, does not change it and has no effect on its quality. By focusing only on the cup, we will never taste chocolate completely, that is, life. Remember, God only prepares hot chocolate for us and does not choose cups. The happiest people don’t own the best of everything. They just make the best of what is available to them! ”
