A group of men, highly successful in their jobs, went to visit their old teacher. Soon they began to about the stress in work and life.
The old teacher went to the kitchen and returned a pot of coffee and different kinds of cups: glass, plastic; nice-looking ones, ugly ones; some , some cheap. He told them to help to the coffee.
When all the students were holding a cup of coffee, the teacher said: “I’ve found that all the nice-looking expensive cups were and you’ve left behind the ugly and cheap . While it is for you to take only the best for yourselves, your problems and stress come along.
You know that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee, what you wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you went for the best cups.
Now think this: life is the coffee. The jobs and money are the cups. They are just outlooks of our life, and the type of cup does not the quality of life. Sometimes, we care about the cup, and we fail the coffee that life offers us. Life hands us the coffee, not the cups. Please enjoy your coffee!”
The happiest people don’ t have the of everything. They just make the best of everything.
So please speak kindly, live , and love deeply.

Is there a strange something high up in the world’s tallest mountains? If so, is it a big bear? Is it a monkey? Or is it a kind of man?
No one knows. This mystery (谜) has puzzled (困惑) the world for years.In 1887, a mountain climber found large footprints (脚印) in the snow. They looked like the footprints of a very large man. But men don’t walk without shoes in the snow!
In 1906, another climber saw more than footprints. Far off (遥远的)saw a very large animal standing on two legs. As he watched, it ran very quickly.
Fifteen years later, newspapers had new stories about the “something”. A mountain climber said he had seen the “snowman” walk slowly across the snow, far below him. He said it looked a very large man.
From then on more and more stories to tell. But not until 1951 did a mountain climber bring back pictures of large footprints. The pictures showed clearly that the Snowman walked on two legs. So it was not a bear or a monkey growing. Someday we may find out just what it is that makes the large footprints.
