During the visit, the conversation turned to work: graduates complained about numerous difficulties and life problems.<br \/>\nHaving offered coffee to his guests, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a coffee pot and a tray filled with a variety of cups: porcelain, glass, plastic, crystal. Some were simple, others expensive.<br \/>\nWhen the graduates took apart the cups, the professor said:<br \/>\n&#8211; Please note that all the beautiful cups were dismantled, while the simple and cheap ones remained. And although it is normal for you to want only the best for yourself, but this is the source of your problems and stress. Realize that the cup alone does not make the coffee better. Most often it is simply more expensive, but sometimes it even hides what we drink. In reality, all you wanted was just coffee, not a cup. But you deliberately chose the best cups, and then looked at who got which cup.<br \/>\nNow think: life is coffee, and work, money, position, society are cups. They are just tools to sustain and sustain life. The type of cup we have does not determine or change the quality of our lives. Sometimes, concentrating only on the cup, we forget to enjoy the taste of the coffee itself.<br \/>\nThe happiest people are not those who have the best, but those who make the best of what they have.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A group of graduates of a prestigious university, successful, having&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1000],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-25566","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-art-therapy"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nazarevich-art.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25566","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nazarevich-art.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nazarevich-art.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nazarevich-art.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nazarevich-art.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25566"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/nazarevich-art.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25566\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":36227,"href":"https:\/\/nazarevich-art.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25566\/revisions\/36227"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nazarevich-art.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25566"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nazarevich-art.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25566"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nazarevich-art.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25566"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
