Little happiness thought: I grow big and help to help people! Years passed. Happiness has grown and has become big.
It remembered her promise and struggled to help people, but people did not hear him.
And gradually, happiness from the big began to turn into a small and stupid. It was very frightened, as if not to disappear at all, and went to the far path to find a medicine from his illness.
How long was happiness, without meeting anyone on his way, just became very bad.
And it stopped to relax. Chose a spreader tree and faced. Just bent, as the approaching steps heard.
He opened his eyes and sees: the shallow old woman goes through the forest all in the rags, barefoot and with the staff. I rushed happiness to her: - Sit down. You probably tired. You need to relax and eat.

And so under the spreading tree, love and happiness have concluded their union never separated.
Since Love leaves from someone's life, together with it and happiness, they do not happen.
And people still can not understand this ...

Crazy comforted past

larous - future,

smart - real.

Eastern wisdom.

From a long time, fell in love with Rus Proverbs, interpreted biblical and their composed. True, sometimes they were confused with bass. And already in the XVIII century, the writer A. P. Sumarokov, the book of his Bassen called "Proverbs." Proverbs are really similar to Basni. However, the fable differs from parables.

Parable is a small moral story, like Basni, but without morality, without direct instruction.

The parable does not say, but gives a hint of a teaching, she is a delicate creation of the people.

In the parables in the usual, everyday case hides a general meaning - a lesson for all people, but this meaning is not given to everyone, but very few.

Proverbs plunge us into a fed world, where everything you can, but, as a rule, this world is simply a moral reflection of reality.

Parable is not an invented story, it is primarily a story about the real events that took place at all times. From the generation to the paradleity generation, as oral folk creativity were transferred from mouth to mouth, supplemented with details, some details, but did not lose their wisdom and simplicity. At different times, in different countries, many people when making responsible decisions, were looking for an answer in the parables and instructive stories of reached to this day.

The parables describe the stories that occur with us in everyday life every day. If you pay attention, then probably notice that many events described in the parables are very similar to our everyday situations. And the question is how to react to it. Parable teaches to look at things sober and come wisely, without excessive emotionality.

At first glance, it may seem that the parable does not bear any useful information, but it is only at first glance. If I did not like the parable, it seemed incomprehensible, stupid or meaningless - this does not mean that the parable is bad. You just may not be prepared enough to understand this parable. Rereading parables, every time you can find something new in them.

Proverbs collected in this book came to us from the East - there people gathered in tea and a cup of coffee or tea listened to the storytellers Proverbs.

Truth of the life

Three important questions

The ruler of one country sought every wisdom. Rumor reached him, which is a certain hermit, who knows the answers to all the questions. The ruler arrived at him and sees: a decrepid old man, digging a bed. He jumped off his horse and bowed an old man.

- I arrived to get an answer to three questions: who is the most important person on earth, what is the most important thing in life, what day is more important than everyone else.

Hermit did not answer anything and continued to dig. The ruler took him to help him.

Suddenly sees: a man goes on the road - all the face is flooded with blood.

The ruler stopped him, the goodwalie comforted, brought water from the stream, was wrapped and tied the wounds of the traveler. Then she took him to hermit shack, laid himself into bed.

Outloes looks - the hermit is seeded.

- Hermit, - the ruler pleaded, - Surely you will not answer my questions?

"You yourself answered them," he said.

- How? - the ruler was amazed.

"Seeing my old age and dismorting, you made it necessary to help me and volunteered," the hermit said. "While you pipped a garden, I was for you the most important person, and I was the most important thing for you." The wounded appeared - his need was my sharper. And he became the most important person for you, and help him is the most important thing. It comes out, the most important person is the one who needs your help. And the most important thing is good that you do him.

"Now I can answer my third question: what day in a person's life is more important than the rest," the ruler said. - The most important day is today's day.

Most valuable

One person in childhood was very friendly with an old man.

But time went, school and hobbies appeared, then work and personal life. Every minute, a young man was busy, and he had no time to recall the past, nor even be with loved ones.

Once he learned that the neighbor died - and unexpectedly remembered: the old man taught him a lot, trying to replace the boy of the deceased father. Feeling his guilt, he arrived at the funeral.

In the evening, after burial, the man went into the empty house of the deceased. Everything was as many years ago ...

That's just a small golden box, in which, according to the old man, was kept the most valuable thing for him, disappeared from the table. Thinking that someone from the few relatives took her, the man left the house.

However, in two weeks he received a parcel. Seeing the name of the neighbor on her, the man flinched and opened the parcel.

Inside lay the same gold box. It turned out to be pocket gold watches with engraving: "Thanks for the time he spent with me."

And he understood - the most valuable for the old man was the time spent with her little friend.

Since then, a man tried to devote his wife and son as much time.

Life is measured not by the number of breaths. It is measured by the number of moments that make us delay your breath.

Time breaks away from us every second. And it needs to be useful to spend right now.

Life as it is

I will tell you a parable: in the old days it came to Gautama Buddha killed by a woman who lost her son. And she began to pray for the child's almighty to return her. And he ordered a Buddha to a woman to return to the village and collect on the mustard grain from each family, in which they would not burn at the funeral fire at least one of her member. And bypassing his village and many others, did not find the poor fellow of any such family. And I understood the woman that death is a natural and inevitable outcome for all living things. And the woman accepted his life as it is, with her inevitable care in oblivion, with the eternal roundstream of lives.

Butterflies and fire

Three butterflies, flying to a burning candle, began to argue about the nature of the fire. One, flew to the flame, returned and said:

- The fire shines.

Another flew closer and paled wing. Arriving back, she said:

- He burns!

The third, swelling quite close, disappeared on fire and did not return. She found out what she wanted to know, but the remaining remained could not tell about it.

The knowledge gained is deprived of the opportunity to talk about him, so knowledgeable is silent, and saying does not know.

To understand fate

A wife died at Zhuang Tzu, and Hui Tzu came to mourn her. Zhuang Tzu sat in squatting and sowed songs, hitting in the pelvis. Hui Tzu said:

- Do not mourn the deceased, who lived with you to old age and raised your children, is too much. But to peel songs, hitting in the pelvis, - just not good anywhere!

"You're wrong," said Zhuang Tzu. "When she died, could I initially not be sad?" Sorrow, I began to think about what she was at the beginning, when it was not born. And not only was not born, but was not yet a body. And not only was not a body, but was not even breathing. I realized that she was scattered in the emptiness of a vast chaos.

Chaos turned - and she became breathing. Breathing turned - and she became a body. The body turned - and she was born. Now there is a new transformation - and she died. All this changed each other, as alternate four years of year. The person is Sonorlen in the abyss of transformations, as if in the rest of the huge house.

Money can not buy happiness

The student asked the Masters:

- How true is the words that not in the money happiness?

He replied that they were completely completely. And prove it simply.

For the money can be bought for money, but not sleep; food, but not appetite; medications, but not health; servants, but not friends; women, but not love; dwelling, but not homely focus; Entertainment, but not joy; Education, but not mind.

And what is called, does not exhaust the list.

Walk straight!

Once upon a time there was a lumberjack, who stayed in a very distinguished position. He existed on the insignificant cash issued for the firewood, which he brought to the city on himself from the nearest forest.

Once Sanyasin, who passed on the road, saw him at work and advised him to go further into the forest, saying:

- Go ahead, go ahead!

The woodcutter listened to the Council, went to the forest and went ahead until she had reached sandalwood. He was very pleased with this find, quit a tree and, capturing so much pieces of him as he could carry, sold them in the bazaar for a good price. Then he began to be surprised why Good Sanyasin did not tell him that there was a sandalwood in the forest, but simply advised to go ahead.

The next day, reaching the deserted tree, he went further and found copper deposits. He took with him so much copper as he could carry and selling her at the bazaar, recovered even more money.

The next day, he found gold, then - diamonds and finally acquired enormous wealth.

That is exactly the position of a person who seeks to true knowledge: if he does not stop in his move after it reaches some paranormal forces, then, in the end, will find the wealth of eternal knowledge and truth.

Two snowflakes

It was snowing. The weather was windless, and large fluffy snowflakes slowly circled in the bizarre dance, slowly approaching the ground.

Two snowflakes flying nearby, decided to start a conversation. Fearing to lose each other, they took hands, and one of them fun says:

- How to fly well, enjoy the flight!

"We do not fly, we just fall," the second one answered sadly.

- Soon we will meet with the ground and turn into a white fluffy bedspread!

- No, we fly to meet death, and on Earth it will just make us.

- We will become strengths and bypiring the sea. We will live forever! - said the first.

"No, we melt and disappear forever," the second one objected her.

Finally they are tired of arguing. They crushed their hands, and each flew towards the fate, which she chose.

Great Good

A rich man asked Zen-Masters to write something good and encouraging, something that will bring the great benefit of his family. "This should be something that every member of our family thinks about other," said Bogach.

He gave a large leaflet of snow-white dear paper, on which the master wrote: "The father will die, the son will die, the grandson will die. And all in one day. "

Bogach came to rage, when I read that I wrote a master: "I asked you to write something good for my family so that it brought joy and prosperize my family. Why did you write what it grieves me? "

"If the Son dies earlier than you," the wizard answered, "it will be irrelevant loss for the whole of your family." If the grandson dies earlier than your son dies, it will be a great grief for everyone. But if the whole is your family, generation by generation, die in one day, it will be a real gift of fate. This will be great happiness and good for the whole of your family. "

Heaven and Hell

There was one person. And most of his life, he spent to find out what the hell differs from paradise. He pondered on this topic for days and nights.

And once he dreamed of an unusual dream. He fell into hell. And sees people there who are sitting in front of boilers with food. And everyone has a large spoon with a very long handle. But these people look hungry, thin and emaciated. They can scream from the boiler, but they will not fall into the mouth. And they swear, fighting, beat each other with spoons.

Suddenly another person runs to him and shouts:

"Hey, let's go faster, show the road leading to paradise."

They arrived in paradise. And they see there people who sit in front of boilers with food. And everyone has a large spoon with a very long handle. But they look fucked, satisfied and happy. When I looked at, they saw that they felt each other. Man to a person must go with good - that's paradise.

Secret happiness

One trader sent his son to seek the secret of happiness at the very wise of all people. The young man was walking along the desert and, finally, went to the beautiful castle standing on the top of the mountain. There lived the sage he was looking for.

However, instead of the expected meeting with a holy person, our hero entered the hall where everyone was bullied: people were born and went out, people chatted in the corner, a small orchestra played sweet melodies and stood a table stood down the most exquisite dish of this terrain. The sage was talked with different people, and the young man had to wait for about two hours to wait for his turn.

The sage carefully listened to the explanations of the young man about the goal of his visit, but said that he had no time to reveal him the secret of happiness. And he invited him to walk through the palace and come again in two hours.

"However, I want to ask for one favor," the sage added, stretching the young man with a small spoon, in which he drowned two drops of oil:

- During the walk, keep this spoon in your hand so that the oil does not come out.

The young man began to rise and descend on palace stairs, not showering with the spoon. Two hours later he came to the sage

- Well, how? - asked the one. - Did you see the Persian carpets that are in my dining room? Have you seen the park that the chief gardener created for ten years? Have you noticed beautiful parchments in my library?

The young man in embarrassment was to confess that he did not see anything. His only care was not to shedding the oil drops that the sage entrusted him.

"Well, come back and get acquainted with the wonders of my universe," the sage told him. - You can not trust a person if you are unfamiliar with the house in which he lives.

Soothed, the young man took a spoon and again went for a walk on the palace, this time paying attention to all works of art, raised on the walls and ceilings of the palace. He saw the gardens surrounded by mountains, gentle flowers, the refinement, with which each of the works of art was placed exactly where necessary. Returning to the sage, he described everything in detail everything he saw.

- Where are those two drops of oil, which I trusted you? - asked the sage.

And the young man, looking at the spoon, discovered that the oil turned out.

"This is the only advice that I can give you: the secret of happiness is to look at all the wonders of the world, never forgetting about two drops of oil in a spoon.

Sermon

Once Mullah decided to turn to believers. But one young horse came to listen to him. Mullah thought about himself: "Should I talk or not?" And he decided to ask the groom:

- Besides you, there is no one here, what do you think, should I talk or not?

Grandmith replied:

- Mr., I am a simple person, I do not understand anything. But when I come to the stable and see that all the horses fled, but only one left, I still give her to eat.

Mullah, taking these words close to the heart, began his sermon. He spoke more than two hours, and, having finished, felt relief in the soul. He wanted to hear confirmation as his speech was. He asked:

- How did you like my sermon?

"I already said that I am a simple person and do not really understand all this." But if I come to the stable and see that all the horses ran away, but only one left, I still feed her. But I will not give her the whole feed, which is designed for all horses.

Parable about positive thinking

Somehow the old Chinese teacher said to his student:

- Please inspect this room well and try to celebrate everything in it is brown.

Young man looked around. There were a lot of brown items in the room: wooden frame frames, sofa, curtain cornice, desks, books and many more different little things.

"Now the eyes cluster and list all the items ... Blue," the teacher asked.

The young man was confused:

- But I did not notice anything!

Then the teacher said:

- Open your eyes. Look only what many blue things are here.

It was true: Blue Vase, blue photo frames, blue carpet, blue shirt of an old teacher.

And the teacher said:

- Look at all these missed items!

The student replied:

- But this is a trick! After all, I was looking for brown on your poop, and not blue items.

The teacher sighed quietly, and then smiled: "This is what I wanted to show you." You searched and found only brown color. It happens with you and in life. You are looking for and find only bad and miss good.

I was always taught that we should expect the worst, and then will never be disappointed. And if the worst does not happen, then a pleasant surprise awaits me. And if I always hope for the best, then I only subjected yourself to the risk of disappointment.

Do not lose sight of everything good what happens in our life. If you expect the worst, then you will receive it. And vice versa.

You can find such a point of view with which each experience will have a positive value. From this moment you will look for everything in every one positive.

How to achieve goals?

The Great Master of Archers from Luca named Dronus taught his disciples. He hung the target on the tree and asked each of the disciples that he sees.

One said:

- I see a tree and a target on it.

Another said:

- I see a tree, ascending sun, birds in the sky ...

All others answered about the same.

Then Drona approached his best student Arjuna and asked:

- What do you see?

He answered:

- I can't see anything other than the target.

And drone said:

- Only such a person can get into the goal.

hidden treasures

The poor man lived in ancient India, whose name was Ali Hafed.

Once a Buddhist priest came to him and told him how the world was created: "Once the earth was a solid fog. And then the Most High spread his fingers to the fog, and he turned into a fireball. And this ball was rushing along the Universe until the rain fell to the ground and did not cool her surface. Then the fire, hacking the earth surface, broke out. So there were mountains and valleys, hills and prairies.

When the molten mass flowing over the ground, cooled quickly, it turned into granite. If she cooled slowly, it became copper, silver or gold. And after gold, diamonds were created.

"Almaz," said the sage Ali Hafeda, is a frozen drop of sunlight. If you had a diamond in the size of the thumb, "the priest continued," you could buy the entire district. But if you owned diamond deposits, I could put on the throne of all our children, and all this thanks to enormous wealth.

Ali Hafed, this evening he learned about the diamonds, everything that could be found. But lay down in bed, as always, the poor man. He did not lose anything, but he was poor because he was not satisfied, and was not satisfied because he was afraid that he was poor.

All night Ali Hafed did not climbed the eyes. He thought only about diamond deposits.

Early in the morning he woke up the old Buddhist priest and began to tend to tell him where to find diamonds. The priest first did not agree. But Ali Hafed was so persistent that the old man finally said:

- Oh well. You have to find the river, which flows in white sands among high mountains. There, in these white sands, you will find diamonds.

And then Ali Hafed sold his farm, left the family to a neighbor and went to look for diamonds. He walked farther and farther, but never could find a treasure. In complete desperation, he committed suicide, rushing at sea.

Once a person who bought the farm Ali Khafeda, decided to drink a camel in the garden. And when the camel pinned his nose in the stream, this man suddenly noticed a strange sparkling, emanating from white sand from the bottom of the stream. He lowered his hands into the water and pulled out a stone from there, from which this fiery radiance proceeded. He brought this unusual stone home, put it on the shelf.

Somehow the same old Buddhist priest came to visit a new owner. Opening the door, he immediately saw shine over the fireplace. Throwing to him, and exclaimed:

- This is a diamond! Ali Hafed returned?

"No," the successor Ali Haped answered. - Ali Hafed did not return. And this is a simple stone that I found in my stream.

- You're wrong! - exclaimed the priest. - I recognize the diamond from a thousand other gems. I swear to all saints, it is diamond!

And then they went to the garden and rummaged all the white sand in the stream. And in it they discovered precious stones, even more amazing and more valuable than the first. The most valuable is always near.

And they saw God

Once it happened so that the three saints walked together through the forest. All his life, they have worked selflessly: one was a follower of the path of devotion, love and prayer. The other is the path of knowledge, wisdom and intelligence. Third - actions, ministry, debt.

Despite the fact that they were selfless seekers, they did not achieve the desired results, did not know God.

But the miracle happened that day!

Suddenly rains began, they drove to a small chapel, squeezed inwards and pressed each other. And that moment, when they touched each other, they felt that they were no longer three. Starting from surprise, they looked at each other.

It was clearly felt the highest presence. Gradually, it became more visible and emitting. It was such an ecstasy - to see the divine light!

They fell on her knees and prayed:

- Lord, why did you suddenly come? We worked all my life, but did not win such a honor - to see you, why did it happen today?

And God said:

- Because today you are here all together. Touching each other, you became one of the whole and therefore saw me. I have always been with each of you, but you could not show me, because you were only fragments. A miracle comes in unity.

Eastern parable - in essence, a short story set out by a simple, understandable language. This is a special form of transmission of vital information. What is difficult to describe as usual words is filed in the form of history.

Features of perception

An adult has a well-developed logic, habit of thinking with words, abstract categories. This method of thinking diligently mastered throughout school years. In ornament, he more actively used the figurative language - alive, informal, the resources of the right hemisphere of the brain responsible for creativity, creativity.

Eastern parable, bypassing logic and pragmatic, turns straight to the heart. On a certain example, something very important is revealed, but usually escaping from attention. With the help of metaphor and the allegories, the imagination is activated, the depths of the soul are crushed. A person does not think so much as it feels at this moment. It can even be true, and even cry at all.

Insight as a consequence

A small instructive story, which is the Eastern Parable, can completely incomprehensible to start the reboot of the usual thinking process. The man suddenly realizes that for a long time could not break through his mind. He happens insight.

Due to the illusion, a person changes the self-perception, a minority. For example, oppressive senses of debt or guilt are transformed into a deep acceptance of themselves. The feeling of hostility and injustice is to understand that the world is beautiful and multifaceted. Conduct the reasons for any difficult situation, finally find out the way out of it.

Proverbs' value

Eastern cultures have always been famous for special atmosphericism, mysteriousness, a tendency to contemplation. Philosophical views were distinguished by a holistic approach to life. Ancient spiritual teachings focused on the balance of human relations with nature, the expansion of the mental and physical capabilities of his body.

Therefore, the eastern parable is impregnated by the harmonizing truths. She seats people with irreversible life values. Since ancient times, it is used as a form of support in Word. This is her big gift.

She shows the way

Eastern affaution of life is placed in the focus of human attention, some patterns, rules, instructions; Show the multifaceted world relativity total. Such is the parable about the elephant and the blind elders studying it from different sides - a trunk, a talent, back, ear, leg, tail. Despite all inconsistencies, even frank contradictions in judgments, everyone turns out to be right. Such examples help to overcome categoricality, develop an understanding, tolerance both to itself and to others.

Eastern draws human attention to his inner world, contributes to reflection. Makes intently at its priorities, carried out every day the choice, identify the presence of a tendency to negativism, destruction or structures and creating. I contribute to understanding which motives are managed by actions: fear, envy, pride or love, hope, kindness. By analogy with the parable of two wolves, which is fueled, it will increase.

Eastern helps a person in this way to arrange emphasis in his life so that he finds more reasons and the reasons to feel happy than the opposite. Always remember the most important, appreciate, protect and enjoy him. And because of the secondary, do not grieve, do not fall into the despondency. Come inner calm, establish a balance.

Wisdom's storehouse

Interesting stories - a rather stable tradition of mankind. This is a fun and fascinating pastime. Often even very informative. So the exchange of experience proceeds, knowledge is passed. Proverbs about life are popular today. It's great, because indiscreted treasures are hidden in them - gravitative wisdom grains.

Proverbs carry many benefits to people. Simply, unobtrusively, they contribute to the refocusing of attention from the secondary to the main thing, with problems for positive moments. Teach the desire for self-sufficiency, the achievement of equilibrium. Remind you to take yourself, others around the world as it is. Call on to relax and simply be ourselves, because it should be.

Changes begin with parables

Wisdom, packed in parable, allows you to look like some separate event or life as a whole. And as a result, redistribute accents in the perception of familiar situations, change priorities, see hidden patterns, causal relationships. Thanks to this, it is possible to appreciate your beliefs, actions and if desired, to make adjustments.

Life consists of small things. By changing small habits, a person changes actions, behavior, character. Then his fate is changing. So a suitable parable at the right moment is able to work wonders.

For many years, collecting wise, beautiful, instructive stories. Surprisingly, the authors of most of these masterpieces are unknown. Probably the depth and inner beauty of these miniatures turns them into a modern folklore transmitted from the mouth to the mouth. I bring to your attention the ten best parables about the meaning of life and that is important, which allows you to check life guidelines, distinguishing the true greatness and spiritual wealth from a limited Mirka everyday bustle, although sometimes looking solemn and magnificently. I chose to your taste, of course.

Full bank.

Professor of Philosophy, standing in front of his audience, took a five-liter glass jar and filled it with stones, each at least three centimeters in diameter.
- Is the bank full? - asked Professor of Students.
"Yes, full," students answered.
Then he opened a package with peas and poured his contents to a large jar, a little shocked her. Peas took free space between the stones.
- Is the bank full? - Once again, the professor asked students.
"Yes, full," they replied.
Then he took the box filled with sand, and poured him into a jar. Naturally, the sand took fully existing free space and closed everything.
Once again, Professor asked students, is it full of bank? They answered: Yes, and this time it is definitely, it is full.
Then, from under the table, he pulled out a mug with water and poured it into the jar to the last drop, swinging the sand.
Students laughed.
- And now I want you to understand that the bank is your life. Stones are the most important things of your life: family, health, friends, their children - all that you need, so that your life still remains complete, even if everything else is lost. Peas are things that they personally have become important: work, house, car. Sand is everything else, little things.
If you first fill with sand with sand, there will be no place to stay, where we could accommodate peas and stones. And also in your life, if you spend all the time and all the energy for trifles, there is no place for the most important things. Exercise happiness: Play with your children, give the time to spouses, meet friends. There will always be time to work, make a cleaning at home, repair and wash the car. Do, above all, stones, that is, the most important things in life; Determine your priorities: the rest is just sand.
Then the student raised his hand and asked the professor, what value is water?
Professor smiled.
- I'm glad you asked me about it. I did it just to prove to you that, no matter how your life is busy, there is always a little space for idle idleness.

Most valuable

One person in childhood was very friendly with an old man.
But time went, a college and hobbies appeared, then work and personal life. Every minute, a young man was busy, and he had no time to recall the past, nor even be with loved ones.
Once he learned that the neighbor died - and unexpectedly remembered: the old man taught him a lot, trying to replace the boy of the deceased father. Feeling his guilt, he arrived at the funeral.
In the evening, after burial, the man went into the empty house of the deceased. Everything was as many years ago ...
That's just a small golden box, in which, according to the old man, was kept the most valuable thing for him, disappeared from the table. Thinking that someone from the few relatives took her, the man left the house.

And he understood - the most valuable for the old man was the time spent with her little friend.
Since then, a man tried to devote his wife and son as much time.

Life is measured not by the number of breaths. It is measured by the number of moments that make us delay your breath.Time breaks away from us every second. And it needs to be spent right now.

Footprints on the sand(Christian parable).

Somehow once a man dreamed of sleep. He dreamed that he was walking with the sandy coast, and next to him - the Lord. The pictures of his life flashed in the sky, and after each of them he noticed two chains in the sand: one - from his legs, the other - from the legs of the Lord.
When in front of him flashed the last picture from his life, he looked back on the sands on the sand. And he saw that often only one chain of traces was stretched along his life path. He also noticed that it was the greatest and unhappy times in his life.

"From 30 to 50 rubles," the seller replied.

With these words, the boy began to wrap his left leg to his left leg. And then the affected seller saw that the boy's leg was terribly twisted and maintained by metal hoops.
The child looked at the seller.
- I can never run and jump. And this kitten needs someone who would understand him, as he is hard, and who would support him, "the boy said a trembling voice.
A man for the counter began to bite his lips. Tears overwhelmed his eyes ... Having silent a little, he forced himself to smile.

Cups of coffee.

A group of graduates of a prestigious university, successful who made a wonderful career, came to visit their old professor. During the visit, the conversation went about work: graduates complained about numerous difficulties and vital problems.
By offering their guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a coffee pot and a tray, styled with the most different cups: porcelain, glass, plastic, crystal. Some were simple, other expensive.
When graduates disassembled cups, Professor said:
- Please note that all beautiful cups disassembled, whereas simple and cheap remained. And although it is normal for you - just want the best for yourself, but this is the source of your problems and stress. Understand that the cup itself does not make coffee better. Most often it is just more expensive, but sometimes even hides the fact that we drink. In fact, everything that you wanted was just 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 maintaining and maintaining 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.

The happiest people are not those that have all the best, but those that extract all the best of what have.
