The Wisdom In Hot Chocolate

A group of graduates, well established in their careers, were taking at a reunion and decide to go visit their old university professor, now retired.
During their visit, the conversation turned to complaints about stress in their work and lives.
Offering his guests hot chocolate, the professor went into the kitchen and returned with a large pot of hot chocolate and an assortment of cup - porcelain, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite - telling them to help themselves to the hot chocolate.
When they all had a cup of hot chocolate in hand, the professor said :
" Notice that all the nice looking, expensive cup were taken, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. "
" While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. "
" The cup that you're drinking from adds nothing to the quality of the hot chocolate. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink. "
" What all of you really wanted was hot chocolate, not the cup; but you consciously went for the best cups. "
" And then you began eyeing each other's cups. "
" Now consider this. "
" Life is the hot chocolate; your job, money and position in society are the cups. "
" They are just tools to hold and contain life. "
" The cup you have does not define, nor change the quality of life you have. "
" Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the hot chocolate God has provided us. "
" God makes the hot chocolate, man chooses the cups. "
" The happiest people don't have the best of everything. "
" They just make the best of everything that they have. "
" Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak Kindly. And enjoy your hot chocolate !! "

An ironic joke widely circulated in Silicon Valley

A butcher watching over his shop is really suprised when he sees a dog coming inside the shop. He shoos him away. But later, the dogs is back again. So, he goes over to the dog and notices it has a note in its mouth.
He takes the note and it reads " Can I have 12 sausages and a leg of lamb, please ? The dog has money in its mouth, as well. "
The butcher looks inside and, low and behold, there is a ten dollar note there. So he takes the money and put the sausages and lamb in a bag, placing it in the dog's mouth.
The butcher is so impressed, and since it's about closing time, he decides to shut the shop and follow the dog.
So off he goes. The dog is walking down the street, when it comes to level crossing, the dog put down the bag, jumps up and presses the button. Then it waits patiently, bag in mouth, for the lights to turn. They do, and it walk across the road, with the butcher following him all the way.
The dog then comes to a bus stop, and starts looking at the timetable. The butcher is in awe as the dog stops a bus by pulling its left leg up and gets in it. The butcher follows the dog into the bus. The dog then shows a ticket which is tied to its belt to the bus conductor. The butcher is nearly fainting at this sight, so are the other passengers in the bus.
The dog then sits near the driver's seat looking outside. As soon as the stop is in sight, the dog stands and wags its tail to inform the conductor. Then without waiting for the bus stop completely, it jump out of the bus and runs to a house very close to the stop.
It opens the big iron gate and rushes inside towards the door. As it approaches the wooden door, the dog suddenly change its mind and heads towards the garden. It goes to the window, and beats its head against it several times, walk back, jump off and waits at the door.
The butcher watches as a big guy open the door, and starts abusing the dog, kicking him and punching him, and swearing at him.
The butcher surprised with this, runs up and stop the guy.
" What in heaven's name are you doing ? The dog is a genius. He could be on TV, for the life of me ! "
To which the guy responds : " You call this clever ? This is the second time this week that this stupid dog's forgotten his key !"
Moral of the story..............
You may continue to exceed onlookers' expectations but shall always fall short of the boss' expectations.
Its a dog's life after all..........................
