Will Your life be Determined by a Cup?

Is coffee among your favorite drinks? With enough choices, which cup would you like to pour your coffee into, an exquisite one or a plain one? Many people will take up the fancy one without hesitation. But wait! Do you really care so much about the containers when the coffee in them is exactly the same, and should you?

Achievement is the coffee while wealth and fame are the cups and the personal satisfaction is the taste of that particular coffee. Will you allow your personal happiness and satisfaction to be determined by a cup–the wealth and the fame you may or may not obtain, and should you? What my mother once said always rings in my ears: “money is not as fantastic as you think, you should never think too highly of it. Don’t be greedy, my son. As long as you are delightful and satisfied with the efforts you have made, that’s all you need.” Gradually, I came to feel the same way. However, in reality, many people are chasing wealth which results in the ignorance of the personal satisfaction and lose themselves in a variety of material temptations. Admittedly, the personal satisfaction is the best motivation and reward for our achievement. As far as I am concerned, those who hold a different attitude focus their time and energy on immediate interests and ignore long-term ones. And surely one day they will get tired with it, on account of which, they’ll lose the motivation in the end.
