Life is Like a Cup of Coffee...

Assalamualaikum..

Hari nie aku juz nak share satu kisah tentang kehidupan. Aku dapat cerita nie masa kelas prinsip pengurusan tadi. Aku rasa tertarik untuk kongsi kisah ni dalam blog aku sebab aku rasa ianya sangat rapat dengan kehidupan kita terutamanya aku sendiri.

~LIFE IS LIKE A CUP OF COFFEE~

A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life. Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups - porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite - telling them to help themselves to the coffee. When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said, "If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups have been taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. Be assured that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink. What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups...and then you began eyeing each other's cups. Now consider this: Life is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain life, and the type of cup we have does not define, nor change the quality of life we live. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee. Savor the coffee, not the cups! The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything. Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly.

Apa yang aku dapat bila tengok video nie aku terfikir. Memang dah jadi lumrah manusia, kita semua inginkan yang terbaik dalam kehidupan nie sehinggakan kita lupa untuk memikirkan adakah yang terbaik itu memang terbaik untuk kita dan yang buruk tu memang buruk untuk kita. Kita sebagai manusia x pernah fikir semua tu. Apa yang kita nak hanyalah yang terbaik untuk diri kita dan bersaing dengan orang lain. Sehinggakan kita lupa untuk menikmati hidup ini akibat terlalu mengejar title 'TERBAIK' itu. Kita perlu ingat yang hidup ni cuma sekali, nikmatilah kehidupan itu dan jalanilah ia sebaik-baiknya. Jangan terlalu mengejar 'kesempurnaan' sehingga kita lupa 'ketidaksempurnaan' yang kita miliki.

-memandangkan masa kat dalam kuliah aku tengok cerita nie dalam versi video so aku terpaksa copy cerita nie kat web spiritual-short-story bila nak tulis dalam versi word...
