God's Coffee
A group of alumni（男校友）, highly established in their careers（事业上大有成就）, 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（各类） cups – porcelain（瓷的）, plastic（塑料的）, glass（玻璃的）, crystal（水晶的）, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite（精美） - telling them to help themselves to the coffee. When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said: "If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up, 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（这就是你们烦恼和压力的根源所在）. Be assured that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee（要知道，杯子本身并不能使咖啡更香醇）. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink. What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously（有意识地） went for the best cups... And then you began eyeing each other's cups. Now consider this: Life is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life, and the type of cup we have does not define, nor change the quality of Life we live. （生活就是咖啡；而工作、金钱、社会地位只是装咖啡的杯子。它们不过是承载生活的工具。我们拥有什么样的杯子并不能定义，或是改变我们生活本身的品质。） Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee God has provided us." God brews（酿造） the coffee, not the cups.......... Enjoy your coffee! "The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything." Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. |

British people use the word inn to refer to a particular, old-style hotel or pub, but in America, the word inn does not have any special meaning apart from hotel or restaurant. The word inn is frequently used by American establishments that want to appear old-fashioned or friendly, e.g. Holiday Inn.
英国人用inn这个词表示某些特殊的、旧式的旅馆或酒店，但是在美国，inn这个词除了表示旅馆和餐馆外，没有任何特殊含义。Inn被美国商业机构频繁使用，以显示他们的怀旧或者友善的感觉。如：Holiday Inn。
