Purpose

This is so true … many times we got carried away and forget our primary purpose.

A message to share…

A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university Professor.

Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life. Offering his guests coffee, the Professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups: porcelain, plastic, glass, some plain-looking and some expensive and exquisite, telling them to help themselves to hot coffee.

When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the lecturer said “If you noticed, all the nice-looking, expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is but normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the better cups and are eyeing each other’s cups.”

“Now, if Life is coffee, then the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain life, but the quality of Life doesn’t change. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee in it.”

So friends, don’t let the cups drive you… enjoy the coffee instead.

Firefox loads faster than Internet Explorer. Now it is also blocked. What the hack la. (Okay, first time I ever use singlish here). I still prefer to use FF, okay. Shall I bring my own laptop and my own mobile boardband and use it in the office? I can do that if I want to. But hack care. I’m leaving the company soon. Tomorrow onwards, one word to descript it all. Light! Yes, light is the word. I’m going to carry light to work. No more heavy bag. Just my umbrella, one book, and wallet. That’s it.
