上帝的咖啡
一群事业有成的同学回去看望他们的大学老师，很快他们开始抱怨生活和工作中的压力。 老师去厨房为客人们准备咖啡，回来时端着一大壶咖啡和各式各样的杯子，这些杯子有、塑料的、玻璃的、水晶的，有的普通，有的昂贵，有的精致，老师让大家随意享用。 等每个人都端起一杯咖啡，老师说话了：你们注意到吗：所有好看昂贵的杯子都被用了，剩下那些朴素便宜的杯子。你们都只想要最好的，这很正常，这恰恰是你们的问题和压力所在。杯子不会让咖啡的质量变得更好，很多时候，只是让它变得更贵一些，甚至，有时候，让人忽略了到底我们在喝什么。你们真正想要的其实是咖啡，不是杯子，但你们有意识地去拿那些最好的杯子，随后开始打量其他人手上的杯子。
生活好比咖啡，工作、金钱和社会地位都只是杯子，只是生活的容器，而我们拥有的杯子既无法定义、也无法改变我们生活的质量。有时，由于我们只关心杯子，我们甚至不能够好好品尝上帝赐予我们的咖啡。
上帝冲泡了咖啡，不是杯子。享受你们的咖啡吧。 最快乐的人们并不是因为他们拥有最好的一切，他们只是把一切当成最好。 简单地活着。仁慈地爱着。深深地关心着。友善地说话。 其他的，就留给上帝吧。
God's Coffee
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 -, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite - 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. Be assured that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. 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 went for the best cups. And then you began eyeing each other's cups.
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. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee God has provided us."
God brews 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.
Leave the rest to God.

One day, the lion king announced that he was going to get married, and he invited all the animals to attend the wedding ceremony. So the tortoise thought, “I am an animal. I shall attend it as well.” Then he set out on the journey.
On his way, he met other animals. They were stunned for a few seconds and then began to laugh at the tortoise, saying, “How silly you are! The ceremony is starting. Can you make it as you walk so lowly? I’m afraid you still can’t be there after the baby lion king is born, or grow up or even after he gets married.” But the tortoise had made his mind to go.
Many years passed, and he finally got to the entrance of the lion king’s cave. No wonder that the lion king’s wedding had already been finished a long time ago. However, the tortoise found that the cave was so well- decorated and all varieties of animals were there. They told the tortoise, “Today, the son of the old lion king is going to get married.”
How could the tortoise attend the little lion king’s wedding party if he had stopped half- way?

After a heavy rain, a spider was climbing hard towards his broken net on the wall. Because the wall was too wet, the spider fell down after reaching a certain height. But he continuously climbed up and fell down again and again.
The first man saw it, sighed heavily and said to himself, “My life is just like that spider’s; busy all the time but getting nothing?” He became increasingly depressed.
The second man saw it and said, “What a stupid spider. Why doesn’t it make a detour to a drier place? I’d never be that stupid.” So he became smarter.
The third man saw it. He was quite moved by the spider’s perseverance and said to himself, “I won’t let a little spider be stronger and more persistent than me. I’ll learn from his example and become stronger,” and he did.

There was a young flower in the desert where all was dry and sad looking. It was growing by itself, enjoying every day and saying to the sun, “When shall I be grown up?” And the sun would say, “Be patient! Each time I touch you, and you will grow a little.” She was so pleased because she would have a chance to bring beauty to this corner of sand. And this is all she wanted to do ---- bring a little bit of beauty to this world.
But one day a hunter came by and stepped on the flower. She was going to die and she felt so sad. Not because she was dying, but because she would never have a chance to bring a little bit of beauty to this corner of the desert.
The Great Spirit saw her, thinking that she should be living. So he reached down and touched her---- and gave her a second life.
Finally she grew up to be a beautiful flower. And this corner of the desert also became so beautiful because of the small flower.

Soon after her little brother was born, Sachi began to ask her parents to leave her alone with the new baby. They worried that like most four-year-olds, she might feel jealous and want to hurt (hit or shake) him, so they said no. But she tried every effort to show she wouldn’t hurt him. (But they found her have no sign of jealousy.) She treated the baby with kindness, and her pleas to be left alone with him became more urgent. After a long time of observation, her parents finally allowed it.
Elated, she went into the baby’s room and shut the door, but it opened a crack---- enough for her curious parents to peek in and listen. They saw little Sachi walk quietly up to her baby brother, put her face close to his and say quietly, “Baby, tell me what God feels like. I’m starting to forget.”

There are three brothers who all have doctor degrees and work for NASA. One day after finishing dinner in their mother’s home, again they started discussing the project of landing on the moon and establishing the space station.
One of the daughters-in-law washing dishes in the kitchen complained, “They three discuss those unimaginable things all the time, which makes us foolish compared with them.”
But the mother said, “I used to think that I was foolish. However, I changed my mind remembering that they three spent the whole afternoon fixing all the screen windows around the house last autumn.”www.shanpow.com_英文哲理小故事。

A customer having lunch in a restaurant asked a waiter, “What will be the weather like tomorrow?”
The waiter answered full of certainty, “It will be the weather I like.” Puzzled, the customer asked, “How can you know it will be the weather you like?”
The waiter said, “I find that the surroundings can not always go with
my mind. So I learn to face everything that I encounter joyfully. Then the weather tomorrow must be the one that I enjoy.”

Three criminals were sentenced to stay in prison for three years. The warden agreed to satisfy each a request.
The American liked to smoke cigars so he asked for three cases of cigars.
The Frenchman was the most romantic among them all. He wanted a beautiful lady for companion.
The Jewish, however, would like to have a phone connecting the outside society.
Three years later, the first man rushing out of the prison was the American, with his nostrils full of cigars, shouting, “Give me fire! Give me fire!” He turned out to forget to ask for fire.
Then there came the Frenchman. He was seen to hold a child in his arms. The beautiful lady was followed by one child, too, perceiving the third one.
The last coming one was the Jewish. He held the warden’s hand tightly and said, “Thanks to the telephone. I have been keeping contact with the outside society these three years. My business didn’t stop, but has increased by 200%. So I’ll send you a Rolls-Royce as a gift to show my thankfulness.”www.shanpow.com_英文哲理小故事。

There was a little mouse staying at home all day. It dared not to go out, even at night. “The cat is such a terrible animal. He’ll eat me.” it always said, with a shudder of horror.
God sympathized with the little mouse very much, so he turned it into a cat.
But the cat which was previously a mouse turned out to be afraid of dogs.
“Dogs always appear fiendish. What can I do if I happen to encounter him?”
So God turned it into a dog. But it then began to be scared of tigers. And trying his best, God turned it into a tiger.
To his surprise, again the tiger said with its legs shaking, “The hunter’s gun can kill me at any time.”
At last, God was so angry that he turned it back to a mouse. He said, “You’re a mouse after all. Even if I turned you into a hunter, you would be in fear of mice. I can not help you because you only have a mouse’s gut.”
(10) Suffering Is a Part of Life
----By Kimberly Kirberger One of the most difficult things to accept about life is the fact that suffering is a part of it. People die, get sick, hurt each other and hurt themselves. One of the most important lessons I have learned is that it is very important to accept the bad with the good, the light with the dark and the pain with the joy. I have learned that without pain I wouldn’t know joy. I have learned that because of things like illness and death it is that much more important to love and live life to the fullest. Great lessons are learned from terrible tragedies, tremendous growth takes place when we are pushed to our very limits, and although I don’t necessarily like the “tough stuff” I am learning to live with it.

A varying hare named Clara and his family lived in the northern part of America where was snowy most of the time and was lack of food.
Clara didn’t want to live this kind of life any more. So although his relatives urged him to stay, he resolutely set off for immigration
After months of trek, the open grassland which grew all kinds of grass finally appeared right before Clara. This definitely excited Clara. But right at that time, Clara suddenly felt something wrong. He looked up alertly but only found a shadow diving sharply toward him. “An eagle!” Clara shouted out. But it was too late to escape. Clara was licked up by the eagle.
Actually, eagles are born to be the enemy of varying hares. But in the northern area, varying hares’ fur is the same color with the snow surrounded. The eagles can’t find the hares despite of their sharp eyes. However, white Clara was so outstanding in the green grassland.
Every one has his own advantages. But these advantages are not implicit. Sometimes they may turn to disadvantages.

A college graduate was new in job and he found something really strange. One of his colleagues was a chair warmer. Most of the time, he would play his digital camera, receive and send his private e-mails or listen to the music. And more strangely, the boss never blamed him.
The graduate was quite curious. How come his colleague could laze away while the competition nowadays was so fierce? May he be the boss’s relative?
One day, his colleague was listening to the music leisurely while the boss suddenly came and said seriously, “The host computer in the company has something wrong.”
The colleague jumped up right off and rushed to the controlling centre. All the managers were there, waiting anxiously, and knew nothing to do.
The colleague tested the machines and began to fix it silently. Twenty minutes later, the host computer reworked normally. Thanks to his good judging and instant handling, the company saved hundreds of millions of dollars.
Then the graduate realized that the boss was not stupid to raise a lazy man. The economic loss that his colleague had saved this time must have been hundreds times of his salary.

英语励志小故事1：Worm’s Pressure
This is a wormwhose body is no less than one millimeter. It is called 熊虫(XC) perhaps forthe reason that it looks like a black bear under the microscop. The XC usuallyhabited in the slurry of fresh water, wet soil and the 水膜 of moss plants.Recently, there was an amazing news discovered by 日本冈山大学物理学家小野文久: when 20 littleXC were placed in a sealed container under the 7.5 万个大气压 making inexperiment condition, there were only two died and the other 18 have no troubleat all. 7.5 万个大气压, equal to over 700 kilogram stress per square meter, which is powerfulenough to它足以上淀粉瞬间变性 and the rice ready to eat.
翻译：虫子的压力
有这么一种虫子，它的体长还不到一毫米，也许因为在电子显微镜下看起来像一头黑熊，所以人们叫它雄虫。它主要生活在淡水的沉渣，潮湿土壤以及苔藓植物的水膜中。最近日本冈山大学物理学家小野文久发现了一个惊人的现象：当20只小熊虫被放入密封的容器内，在实验室制造的7.5万个大气压下，20只熊虫只有两只死亡，其余的18只安然无恙。7.5万个大气压!它相当于每平方豪米要承受700多千克重物的压力，它足以上淀粉瞬间变性，生米顷刻为熟饭。自然条件下，地球上也只有180千米的地幔深处才拥有如此大的压力。
至今没有人能弄清楚熊虫为何如此能忍。不只是出于对这种超强生命力的尊重还是怀疑，有人叫它地狱之虫。一个长度不超过1毫米的微不足道的虫子，能承受命运给他如此的压力，相比较而言，我们这些自称是高级动物，智慧生命，万物之灵的人呢?在人的现实生活中，有多少小小的心结，小小的压力构成我们所谓的生存压力。在这样的压力下又有多少悲观失落之人将美好的人生称作地狱?现在一比才觉得，其实我们的压力就好比是真空，我饿美女的地狱就是天堂中的天堂。在那一刻，我在心里默默地鞠了一躬，不是为熊虫，而是感谢造物主没有把这样的压力降在人间。
英语励志小故事2：Facing the Reality in Silence
Thetruest and most expressive thought was hardly be expressed.
Weall face it alone in silence to the most important thing in life. We can talkoccasionally about love, loneliness, happiness, miseries, death and so on, butthe true meaning is hard to deliver by words. I cannot tell others how gentlemy love is; how desperate my loneliness is; my enjoyable happiness is; howdepressive my miseries is; how ridiculous my death is. I have no choice but tohide then deeply in my heart. All what I said and wrote but the product ofthinking, while thinking, to some extend, is a kind of escape which from theparticular to general, fate to life and the abyss of silence to the bank oflanguage. If they have not become
pure/solely and abstract idea, it is merelybecause they have newly struggled out from the silence and with something hardto tell in their bodies.
Iam not to deny the possibility of communication between human beings, but
thecondition. It is silence, instead of words. 美特林克had an excellent explanation: the nature of silence tells the nature of one’ssoul. There is no any words may have a possibility to make a communicationbetween their soul if the two cannot share the same silence. To those who havenot solved the same questions in silence, even profound philosophy is only somepolite formulas. In fact, those superficial reader have no ability to identifythe profound philosophy and abstract thoughts, proverb and polite formulas,philosophy and 老生常谈, insipid/prosaic and commonplace,the knowledge of Buddha dharma and deceitful trick. One’s ability in wordscomprehension is based on his understanding to silence and eternally based onhis silence; that is his capacity of soul. Therefore, I insist that the lessonof one who is determined to seek the life philosophy is silence----to face hisimportant problem of sale in silence. Until he has enough accumulation and tootires to bear, all windows opened to him. This is the way that he not onlyunderstands the limited words, but also the unlimited information behind thesilence of words.
翻译：在沉默中面对
最真实，最切己的人生感悟是找不到言辞的。
对于人生最重大的问题，我们没跟人都是能在沉默中独自面对。我们可以一般的谈论爱情、孤独、幸福、苦难、死亡等等，但是，那属于每个人自己的真正意义始终在话语之外。我无法告诉别人我的爱情有多么温柔，我的孤独有多么绝望，我的幸福有多么美丽，我的幸福有多么美丽，我的苦难有多么沉重，我的死亡有多么荒诞。我只能把这一切藏在心中，我所说出的写出的东西只是先思考的产物，而一切思考在某种意义上都是一种逃避，从最个别的逃向一般的，从命运逃向生活，从沉默的深渊逃向语言的彼岸。如果说他们尚未沦为纯粹的空洞的概念，那也只是因为他们是从沉默中挣扎出来的，身上还散发着深渊里不可名状的事物的七夕。
我不否认人与人之间沟通的可能，但我确信其前提是沉默，而不是言辞。美特林克说得好：沉默的性质解释了一个人灵魂的性质。在不能共享沉默的两个人之间，任何言辞都无法使他们的灵魂发生沟通。对于未曾在沉默中面对过相同问题的人来说，在深刻的哲理也只是一些套话，事实上那些浅薄的读者奇缺分不清深刻的感悟和空洞的感叹，格言和套话，哲理和老生常谈，平淡和平庸，佛性和故弄玄虚的禅机。一个人言辞理解的深度取决于他对沉默理解的深度，归根结底取决于她的沉默，亦即他的灵魂的深度。所以，在我看来，凡有志探究人生真理的人首要功夫便是沉默，在沉默中面对他灵魂中真正属于自己的重大问题。到他有了足够的孕育并因此感到不堪重负的时候，一切言语之门便向他打开了，这是他不但理解了有限的言辞，而且理解了言辞背后的沉默着的背后无限的存在。(摘自《中国社会报》)
