ENJOY THE COFFEE

I was told of this story in a seminar.

A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together
to visit their old uni 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 made
of Porcelain, Plastic, Glass, Crystal, some ordinary looking, some
expensive, some exquisite.
He told them to help themselves to hot coffee.

When all the students had a cup of coffee in their hands, the
professor said:
"If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up,
leaving behind the plain and cheap looking ones, While it is
but normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that
is the source of your problems and stress.

What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you
consciously went for the best cups and worse, you were
eying each other's cups.

Now if life is coffee, then the jobs, money and position in society
are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain. Life, but the
quality of life does not change. Some times, by concentrating only
on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee in it."

So folks, don't let the cups drive you......., enjoy the coffee instead !

few above.

SUCCEEDED

The course trainer said : -

to laugh often and love much
to win the respect people
to earn the approval of honest critics
and endure the unfair portrayal of the misguided

to appreciate beauty
to find the best in others
to give of one's self without
the slightest thought of return

to have accomplished a task
and earn silent appreciation
to have played and worked with
enthusiasm and helped with no hesitation

to know that we have made this world a better place
and made one more life smiled easier

if we have managed to do this, we have, if we may use the word
SUCCEEDED.


True anot? so difficult likedat to accomplish !!
I think, I'll just stick to being as ordinary ,
errrrmmm ....... or better still moongchacha.

DOMINATING GALFRIEND

I bumped into my ex-colleague Chan, and was exchanging
news and catching up with one another, when he informed
me that he is in a dilemma with regard to his relationship with
Tracy, his galfren of 2 years. I had met Tracy last year at
Chan's birthday party.

She is a dominating, aggressive and a great achiever too.
She holds an MBA, and works as an insurance adjuster,
previously a banker.

Smart gal, good talker, is the limelight and socialized well.
Chan further added that he noticed she can talk on any topic
under the sun. Some people just got this gift of the gab.

For instance, first time to his parents' house, not timid and shy
more like very liberal, speak freely and call out to every uncle
and auntie, making small talks to his other relatives who are
practically strangers to her.

Chan said OMG.......... she doesnt give me any space to breathe.
Last Christmas, they went to Hongkong with some friends.
She takes up all the attention, no room for him to talk to others ,
coz before he can speak up.... all being said by her.
How can you explain that kinda feel that even in the company
of your friends you felt as though you are being left out in the cold?

Most importantly, she doesnt make him tick with excitement
when she enter the room. Not that she is unattractive. In fact,
she is pretty, dresses well, live up to all occasions. Many envy Chan
but he feel no spark or yearning , just an acknowledgement that
she is around.

Can this kinda relationship survive?... If now is not getting
better, i doubt it will change if settle down as husband and wife
later.

Chan says that he is thinking of a breakup soon, is that a
good decision or not?
