A group of graduates got together to visit their old university professor.
一群畢業(yè)生，各自在事業(yè)上都已有所建樹，相約一起去看望他們年老的大學(xué)教授。
The 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 a variety of cups—porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain-looking, some expensive, some exquisite—telling them to help themselves to the coffee.
談話一會兒就變成了各自對工作和生活壓力的抱怨。在用咖啡招待這些客人時，教授去廚房端來一大壺咖啡，并拿出各式各樣的咖啡杯——陶瓷的、塑料的、玻璃的、水晶的，有看上去普通的、有價值不菲的、有做工精細(xì)的——讓他們自己倒咖啡喝。
When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said,
當(dāng)所有學(xué)生手中都端了一杯咖啡后，教授發(fā)話了：
"If you have 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. "
“如果你們注意一下，就會發(fā)現(xiàn)所有好看的昂貴的杯子都被挑走了，剩下的只是那些普通的和便宜的。當(dāng)然，每個人都只想擁有好的，這很正常，但這也是你們的問題和壓力的根源所在?！?BR>
