A group of classmates got together to visit their old teacher.

These classmates all had good jobs and made lots of money. They talked happily. Then their talk soon turned to complaining about the stress (壓力) in work and life. The teacher went to the kitchen and came back with a large pot of coffee and many cups—china (瓷制的) ones, plastic ones and glass ones. Some are plain (樸素的) looking, some are expensive and some are lovely. The teacher told them to help themselves to the coffee.

When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the teacher said, “Can you notice that all of you took nice-looking expensive cups, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones? You want only the best for yourselves, and that is the source (根源) of your problems.”

“What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you went for the best cups and then began looking at each other’s cups.”

“Now think about this： life is the coffee, and the jobs, money and position (位置) in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold, and do not change the life. Sometimes, by caring only about the cups, we fail to enjoy the coffee. So don’t let the cups drive you, and enjoy the coffee instead.”

William Henry Harrison, the ninth president of the U.S, was born in a small town. When he was a boy, he was very quiet and shy. Because he was so quiet, every one thought that he wasn't bright (聰明).

The people in the town often put a nickel (五分幣) and a dime (一角銀幣) before him and ask him which to choose. He always chose the nickel and they laughed.

One day a woman felt sorry for him. She asked, "Why do you never take a dime and always choose a nickel instead? Do you know a nickel is worth (值…錢) much less than a dime?"
