A group of working adults got together to visit their University lecturer.
The Lecturer was happy to see them.
Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress 
in work and life.
The Lecturer just smiled and went to the kitchen to get an assortment of
cups 
- some porcelain, some plastic, some glass, some plain looking
and some looked rather expensive and exquisite.
The Lecturer offered his former students the cups to get drinks for hemselves.
When all the students had a cup in hand with water, the Lecturer spoke:
"If you noticed, all the nice looking, expensive cups were taken up,
leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal that you only
want the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and
stress. What all you wanted was water, not the cup, but we
unconsciously went for the better cups."
"Just like in life, if Life is Water, then the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold/maintain Life, but the quality of Life doesn't change."
"If we only concentrate on the cup, we won't have time to enjoy/taste the water in it."
It is about time that we need to enjoy of WATER 
!!
