A group of adults, highly succeeded in their jobs, went to visit their old professor. Soon they began to  c_1._ the stress in work and life.

The professor went to the kitchen and returned with a pot of coffee and all kinds of cups—crystal(水晶的), glass, plastic; some nice looking, some plain looking, some expensive, some cheap. And he told them to help  t 2. _ to the coffee.

When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said, “I’ve noticed that all the nice looking expensive cups  were  t_3.__, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it  is  n_4.__ for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your  p_5.__ and stress.

You know that the cup itself   a  6.   no quality to the coffee.  What   you really wanted was coffee, not the cup,  but  you consciously went for the best cups.

Now consider this: Life is the coffee; the jobs, money and  positions in society are the cups. They  are  just  tools  to hold life, and the t  7.    of cup does not change the quality of our life. Sometimes,  by  c_8._ only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee that God has p_9.__ us. God gave us the coffee, not the cups. Please enjoy your coffee!

The happiest people don’t have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything.Live simply. Love feverously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. And leave the r  10.    to God.
