After watching a short inspirational movie entitled “Life is Like a Cup of Coffee” that Ms. Freda showed us, something flashed in my mind. During watching the short movie, the messages seem too familiar to me. Now I know why, because it was a message in a card that my mother gave me years ago. When I was reading the card that time, I did not really get the hidden message in their. Now I am 18 years old and old enough to understand the meaning of life.
In the message, it says that it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves and that is the source of your problems and stress. Here’s my first example for this, same with wanting the best for your child. You work so hard until you forget to spend time with your child. Fulfilling your family their wants and needs. Buying your child some toys and gadgets but what you do not notice is you are not really fulfilling their needs in that kind of way. Maybe your family are happy with what you give them, but you must not forget that giving them a thing doesn’t show how much you love them. You must express how you feel and how much you love them by showing your emotion not by giving their material needs. Yes, it is normal for you to seek for the best for your child, but be assure that you can balance between the “cup and coffee”. Meaning to say, you must be able to balance life and the tools to hold and contain life.
In life, we encounter lots of important things. On my opinion, it is important for you to learn on how to balance things from so important to not so important things. As a human, we need to consider that “Life is the coffee. The jobs, money, and position in society are the cups. The type of cup we have does not define, nor change, the quality of life we live.
"The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything.”
