Quality of Life!

Cup or Water?

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 in plastic,
some in glass, some plain looking and some looked rather
expensive and exquisite.

The Lecturer offered his former students the cups to
get drinks for themselves.

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 or maintain Life, but the quality
of Life doesn't change."

"If we only concentrate on the cup, we won't have time
to enjoy the water in it."

IVGLDSW Day!

Today is

International Very Good Looking, Damn Smart Woman's Day!

And remember this motto to live by:

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave

with the intention of arriving safely

in an attractive and well preserved body,

but rather to skid in sideways,

chocolate in one hand,

wine in the other,

body thoroughly used up,

totally worn out and screaming...

Damn,

What a ride!!
