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.

The yogi said that the world remains the same although many have come and left before this and continue to do so. After the talk, the teacher approached the yogi and confesses to him that hes already suffering w...

STORY.1 It is not necessary that time favours you every time. Sometimes, it teaches a lesson : How to lead a disciplined life through difficulties Once there were two youngsters, one had an office job and the other, being blind, used to beg on the pavement of the office complex where the other worked.  The employee was never appreciated by anyone in his office and so he was demotivated.
