14．　　A group of university students visited their old professor (教授). During their visit, the conversation turned to work. The students were complaining about their problems and expressed how stressed they were in work and in life. After offering coffee to his guests, the professor went to the kitchen and came back with a coffee pot and many different cups-porcelain (陶瓷), glass, plastic and crystal (水晶).
　　Some cups were simple and other ones expensive. The professor asked them to pick out their cups first. When the students picked out their favorite cups, the professor explained, "Notice how all the beautiful cups were picked out and the simple and cheap ones were left."
　　"Wanting only the best things for yourself is the reason for your problems and stress. You need to understand that the cup doesn't make the coffee better. Actually, all that you wanted was the coffee, not the cup. But you consciously (有意识地) chose the best cups, and then looked to see what cups others picked."
　　"Life is the coffee. Your job, money, position in society…they are the cups. They are just tools to hold life, and do not change the quality (品质) of life. Sometimes, by only focusing on the cups, we forget to enjoy the taste of coffee. The happiest people are not those who have the best things, but those who enjoy life and make the most of what they have."

At the same time, other family members will prepare a meal for you. Chinese people treat their guests with a big meal. (3)       On the table, the guests must be the first to eat. Perhaps one of the things that surprises a western guest most is that the Chinese host likes to pick food for visitors. Although you tell them you are full, they still put more food in your bowl.
