2023年英语短文哲理小故事 英语短文哲理小故事 -上帝的咖啡 God's Coffee A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university profeor.Conversation soon turned into complaints about stre in work and life.Offering his guests coffee, the profeor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an aortment of cupstelling them to help themselves to the coffee.When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the profeor 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 stre.Be aured 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.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.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. Things Arent Always What They Seem Two traveling angles stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family.The family was rude and refused to let the angles stay in the mansions guestroom.Instead the angles were given a small space in the cold basement.As they made their bed in the hard floor, the older angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it.When the younger angle asked why, the older angle replied, “Things arent always what they seem.” The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor, but very hospitable farmer and his wife.After sharing the little food they had the couple let the angles sleep in their bed where they could have a good nights rest.When the sun came up the next morning the angles found the farmer and his in tears.Their only cow, whose milk had been their sole income, lay dead in the field.The younger angle was infuriated and asked the older angle how he could have let this happen.“The first man had everything, yet you helped him,” he accused.“The second family had little but was willing to share everything, and you let the cow lie”. “Things arent always what they seem,” the older angle replied.“when we stayed in the basement of the mansion, I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall.Since the owner was so obseed with greed and unwilling to share his good fortune, I sealed the wall so he wouldnt find it.” “Then last night as we slept in the farmers bed, the angle of death came for his wife.I gave him the cow instead.Things arent always what they seem. 英语短文哲理小故事 英语小短文故事 哲理小短文 小故事故事小故事励志小故事英语小故事哲理小故事 英语小短文故事 纯英文 人生哲理小短文 人生哲理小短文 哲理小故事 哲理小故事 哲理小故事
