A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university 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 - porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite - telling them to help themselves to hot coffee.

When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said:

“If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. 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 were eyeing 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 Life, but the quality of Life doesn’t change. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee in it.” So, don’t let the cups drive you… enjoy the coffee instead.

If it wasnt for recent events I would have never believed that things happen for a much bigger reason.

The outcome of everything effects us all as humans and no matter how little or discluded we feel, there is a purpose. Today I love life and I dont take anything for granted. Just wanted to share this because prior to some more recent situations. Being too serious can only lead to one thing in my experience and that is tension, stress, anger, and most unfortunatly unhappiness!


Love life, be yourself!

Don't let a day without read something nice,see something beautiful,smile a little,and hope to other good day and to enjoy by all things u have in u life.

Shoukd i give up or should i just keep chasing pavements even if it leads nowhere..........

this is really time consuming i just dont want to do this no more i wish someone special could come along and get me off here..... does any one feel my pain or is it just me...............

Two minutes ago man from Saudi Arabia connect me,he even didn't said"hello",he wrote"I have very quick question after I read ur profile-will you marry me?"The important thing here is-he didn't joke!!
Can somebody tell me if I am stupid or this guy is just crazy?

i knew someone, a very pretty woman... well not so so pretty but she does look good. She meet a lot of guy but he only love one man.Lucky for her since she look good this guy like her too and courted her and then they were a good couple. they were together for almost 10 years now.
A couple of months ago this guy decided to work outside the country for him to earn more. For almost 10 years being together, this girl that i knew felt puzzled and was thinking.
"does this guy love me" because the guy used to want him around now is gone...
Having him for 10 years is something but the question that rolls to her head is "Why is he keeping me". Does he keeps her because he was used having her on his life...
That idea keep on rolling on her mind and until now it keeps on turning all around her, i can tell.
Is it really true? A man will keep her because he was used having her? This girl i knew felt so bad cause for the 10 long years they are together he never asked her to get married and until now she keep on hoping that one day he will asked. If ever she pops up the question and asked him when will they marry he never answer and shift te topic to a new one...
Why can't he love her? Why can't he just leave her if he dont love her anymore, Or if he does love her why not marry her and have a family like normal couples do...
I guess this girl deserves her happy ever after, I guess this girl deserves to be loved. I guess this girl is worthy enough to be loved and to feel that she is loved by someone...
The feeling that someone out there do love her, do care for her and wants to grow old with her, have kids with her and spend the rest of his life with her...
Why can't he learn to love her the way she want to be loved....

Life is not about finding the right person, But creating the right Relationship. Its not how much we are in the beginning, But how much we care till end.

u cant find a right person in your life but u can make him in your way if u are smart enough ..........

but think your faults humans they are hiding there weakness no one is perfect in world ........

make relation try to be that in a good way

Why will he not stop and ask for directions? Because he is a man.

The main reason men do not like asking for directions is because they have a strong belief that they can do it on their own. If they are lost, they will be able to find their own way out, on their own, without needing help from anyone. Where women are willing to ask for and receive help from anyone (even gas station clerks), men feel their intellect is being challenged if they have to ask for help. Men associate their value as a person with their ability to figure things out on their own.

From The Guy Rules: Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we.

Men: When you are with a woman and she suggests you ask for directions, do not think of it as an insult. Think of it as another way you can make her happy. You will be getting the directions just to make her happy, and not because you could not figure it out on your own.

Women: Next time you are with a man and you are lost, stay calm and try not to offer advice. Try to relax and enjoy the scenery. Give him a chance to figure it out on his own (you could even give him support with this). If that does not work, ask him if he would be willing to stop so you can go in and get the directions. Whatever you do, do not make him feel bad that you are lost.

Many people have asked throughout the ages if love at first sight truly exists. Well, the answer is yes and no. Falling in love at first sight is characterized by strong physical attraction. This automatically means that there is chemistry and butterflies-elements that are needed to make a relationship succeed. However, for the relationship to be meaningful and long lasting, you have to get to know the person first. Even if he looks like your knight in shining armor, what if it turns out that he's someone who has nothing in common with you? So the next time you think you might be in love with someone you just laid your eyes on, take it to the next step and get to know him. Who knows? It could be true love.

Dear Lord

I thank You for this day
I thank You for my being able to see and to hear this morning.
I'm blessed because You are a forgiving God and an understanding God.
You have done so much for me and You keep on blessing me.
Forgive me this day for everything I have done,
said or thought that was not pleasing to you.
I ask now for Your forgiveness.
Please keep me safe from all danger and harm.
Help me to start this day with a new attitude and plenty of gratitude.
Let me make the best of each and every day
to clear my mind so that I can hear from You.
Please broaden my mind that I can accept all things.
Let me not whine and whimper over things I have no control over.
And give the best response when I' m pushed beyond my limits.

I know that when I can't pray, You listen to my heart.
Continue to use me to do Your will.
Continue to bless me that I may be a blessing to others.
Keep me strong that I may help the weak.
Keep me uplifted that I may have words of encouragement for others.
I pray for those that are lost and can't find their way.
I pray for those that are misjudged and misunderstood.
I pray for those who don't know You intimately.
I pray for those don't believe.
I believe that God changes people and God changes things.
I pray for all my sisters and brothers.
For each and every family member in their households.
I pray for peace, love and joy in their homes
that they are out of debt and all their needs are met.
I pray that every eye that reads this knows there is no problem,
circumstance, or situation greater than God.
Every battle is in Your hands for You to fight.
I pray that these words be received into the hearts of everyone that sees it.

God I love you and I need you,
come into my heart, please.

In Jesus name

Amen
