LIFE IS ‘B’  AND ‘D’ WITH ‘C’  COMING IN BETWEEN

A group of friends visited their old university professor. Conversation soon turned to complaints about 'STRESS' and 'TENSION' in Life.

The Professor offered them coffee; went into the kitchen and returned with coffee in different kinds of cups!(glass cups, crystal cups, shining ones, some plain looking, some ordinary & some expensive ones...)

When all of them had a cup in hand, the professor said: "If you noticed- all the nice looking and expensive cups are taken up, leaving behind the ordinary ones! Every one of you wanted the best cups, & that is the source of your STRESS and TENSION!

What you really wanted was ‘coffee’, not the ‘cup’. But you still went for the best cup.

If life is coffee; then jobs, money, status and love etc. are the cups!

They are just TOOLS to hold and contain life. Please don't let the CUPS drive you! Enjoy the COFFEE!”

What is life? They say it is from ‘B’ to ‘D’...from Birth to Death! But what's between B and D? It is a "C ": Choice’. (In Malayalam it is said ‘ജനനം’ എന്ന മൂന്ന് അക്ഷരത്തിനും ‘മരണം’ എന്ന മൂന്ന് അക്ഷരത്തിനും ഇടയിലുള്ള മൂന്ന് അക്ഷരമാണു ‘ജീവിതം’) Our life is a matter of choices. We are what we are because of our choices. If a person born and grown in an ordinary family in a remote village of Kerala could become the President of India (K.R. Narayanan), if a person who do not have arms and legs could become a motivational speaker (Nick Vujicic – if you have not heard of this person and if you are depressed about the negatives in life, I strongly recommend you to go to youtube and see his videos)… The above are only a couple of names who took the reality of negatives in life as challenges and viewed them not as problems but as projects and possibilities – in fact it is only those who have seen their possibilities and ignored the limitations and hurdles could become achievers?)

Always hold a positive attitude; it pays and makes your life peaceful and enjoyable.
