The unchosen cups

It was the alumni meet of an engineering college. Around 20 students went to meet one of their professors. The students met their old professor at his place and everyone was talking to each other about how their life changed in all these years. The young bees started conversations about how hard each of their lives has turned to be. 
The professor overheard his former students and went to the kitchen. He fetched coffee for everyone in a pot. He had a plan. He displayed expensive and inexpensive cups for the coffees to be served in. 
The students grabbed coffees in the expensive cups. The professor waited for the right moment explained to his students. 
The professor pointed out how everyone's problems are because they all remain focused on the cup than the coffee.. The quality of the coffee or its purpose will not change with the cup in which it is served. We let our coffee get cold and lose its actual quality and purpose by going that extra mile for an expensive cup. 

We all have the equal opportunities and the only thing matters is how are we going to utilize them rather than thinking about the opportunities used by someone else.

God kept quiet and asked the farmer what he wanted to become in his next life. The farmer wished to be someone who is unquestioned and who people gave money to. God blessed him and granted his desire.  God approached the other farmer with the same question. The farmer said he was really glad with the life God had given him. The farmer thanked ...

Strong roots Sangeetha and her husband were staying in a housing colony. Next doors to them lived an old man. Everyone addressed him as grandpa. One day a man who sold plants was in the colony. Sangeetha and the grandpa bought the same plant and planted it in their yard. Sangeetha had her education in agriculture and knew everything about the plant. Sangeetha watered the plant and used the right fertilizers and pesticides for her plant and she was so prompt with her schedule. After days both the plants were easily distinguishable. Sangeetha's plant was so green and flourished beautifully. Grandpa's plant was barely anything.  One evening, thunder and storm rampaged the area, everyone and everything was affected. The whole night heavy wind blew. The next morning grandpa and Sangeetha came out to check their plants. Sangeetha's plant was totally damaged, even the last strand of root was pulled out of the soil by the wind. Grandpa's plant on the other hand was just bent, n...
