The conversation among them soon turned into complaints about their stressful work and life. The professor went to his kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups, including porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain-looking, some expensive and some exquisite.

The professor told them to help themselves to the coffee. While it is normal for everyone to want the best for themselves, but that is the source of problems and stress in your life. The type of cup we have, does not define or change the quality of our lives. Moral: Sometimes we fail to enjoy the coffee by concentrating only on the cup we have. And the peace lies within you, not in your career, jobs, or the houses you have.

Once a wise man held a seminar to teach people how to get rid of sorrows in their life. The man entered the room and told a very funny joke to the crowd. The crowd roared in laughter. After a couple of minutes he told them the same joke and only a few of them smiled. When he told the same joke for the third time no one laughed anymore. So why do you cry over the same problem over and over?

A wise and successful man bought a beautiful house with a huge orchard. But, not all were happy for him. An envious man lived in an old house next to him. He threw garbage under his gate and made other nasty things. One fine day the wise man woke up in a good mood and went into the porch to notice buckets of garbage thrown there. The man took a bucket , cleaned his porch. There once lived a wealthy man who was bothered by severe eye pain. He went through a myriad of treatment procedures but his pain persisted with more vigor.

He looked and for every available solution for his pain, and approached a wise monk, renowned for treating various illnesses. The monk told the man to concentrate only on green color for a few weeks and avoid any other colors. The man was desperate to get rid of the pain and was determined ready to go to any extent. The wealthy man appointed a group of painters and purchased barrels of green paint and directed that every object, his eye was likely to fall to be painted green.

The monk could see that the whole corridor and the room was painted green. You cannot paint the world green.

Moral: Let us change our vision and the world will appear accordingly. Once there was an island where all the feelings and emotions lived together. All the feelings jumped in the boat except for one feeling. Love got down to see who it was. Everyone asked Love to leave Ego and come in the boat, but Love was meant to Love.

It remained with Ego. All other feelings were left alive but Love died because of Ego! Once here lived a lazy farmer who did not enjoy working hard in the fields. He spent is days napping under a tree. One day, while he was resting under a tree, a fox came chasing a rabbit. The farmer picked up the dead rabbit and took it home, frustrating the hell out of the fox.

The farmer ate cooked and ate the rabbit for dinner and sold its fur at the market.

The next day, the farmer went right back to the tree and waited for another rabbit to die in a similar way. He saw a few rabbits, but none of them ran into the tree like before. Indeed, it was a very rare incident, but the farmer did not realize it. Weeds grew in his rice field.

Soon, the farmer had to be hungry as he ran out of his rice and never caught any other rabbit too.

Moral: Do not wait for good things to come without doing anything. Do not give your life to luck without working for success. A well known speaker started his seminar by holding up a brand new twenty dollar bill. Hands in the rooms started going up. He crumpled and crumbled the bill and asked the crowd if anyone was still interested to have the bill.

He then dropped the bill on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. Still the hands went into the air. No matter what I did to the bill, you still wanted it because it did not lose its value. We may feel as we are worthless; but no matter what happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value.

Moral: Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, we are priceless.

The worth of our lives comes from not in what we do or who we know, but by who we are. A little wave was bobbing along in the ocean and was having a grand old time. He was enjoying the wind and the fresh air as it travelled— until he noticed that all the other waves in front of him were crashing against the shore. All of us waves are going to be nothing! Once there lived a happy couple who had been together for decades.

But after spending years together, husband was concerned A young man was proud of his healthy and beautiful heart. One day, standing in the middle of the town, he proclaimed that he More than a decade ago, a man was reading his morning newspaper.

A man takes an axe head into the woods and asks the trees to give him one branch. When they do, he proceeds to fit his axe head onto the branch he was given. With his fully-formed axe, the man chops down all the trees. The moral is, "Do not give your enemy the means of destroying you. An old lion pretends to be sick only to capture animals that show him sympathy.

He puts them in his sack to eat later. A fox notices that the tracks lead into his den and not away, so he tricks the lion into closing his eyes and rescues the animals. The moral is, "Using your head keeps you from making foolish or disastrous mistakes. The sun and the wind argue over who is stronger. They decide whoever can make a traveler take off his cloak would be stronger. The sun goes behind a cloud, but the wind only makes the traveler clutch his cloak more.

Then, the sun comes out from behind the clouds, and the traveler gets hot and takes off his cloak. The moral is, "Kindness affects more than severity. Two goats cross a bridge from opposite ends. They meet in the middle and neither is willing to budge. So, they fall into the river and die.
