Catching Dede With Forbidden Drink

Enjoy Your Hot Chocolate A group of graduates, well established in their careers,

were talking at a reunion and decided to go visit their

old university professor, now retired.

During their visit, the conversation turned to complaints

about stress in their work and lives. Offering his guests

hot chocolate, the professor went into the kitchen and

returned with a large pot of hot chocolate and an

assortment of cups:porcelainglasscrystalsome plain lookingsome expensive and some exquisite.Telling them to help themselves to the hot chocolate. When they all had a cup of hot chocolate in hand,

the professor said: "Notice that all the nice looking,

expensive cups were taken, leaving behind the plain

and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to wantonly the best for yourselves, that is the source of your

problems and stress. The cup that you're drinking from

adds nothing to the quality of the hot chocolate. In most

cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even

hides what we drink. What all of you really wanted was

hot chocolate, not the cup; but you consciously went for the

best cups.... And then you began eyeing each other's cups."He went on and said, "Now consider this,: Life is the hot chocolate;

your job, money and position in society are the cups. They are just

tools to hold and contain life. The cup you have does not define, nor

change the quality of life you have. Sometimes, by concentrating only

on the cup, we fail to enjoy the hot chocolate God has provided us.

God makes the hot chocolate, man makes and chooses the cups." The happiest people don't have the best of everything.They just make the best of everything that they have.Live simply.Love generously.Care deeply.Speak kindly.And enjoy your hot chocolate in 2008Love you all ! !
