From the page:
"Coffee and the Cup: 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 Prof went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups: porcelain, plastic, glass, some plain-looking and some expensive and exquisite, telling them to help themselves to hot coffee.
When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the lecturer said "If you noticed, all the nice-looking, expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is but normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the better cups and are eyeing each other's cups.
Now, if Life is coffee, then the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life, but the quality of Life doesn't change. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee in it.
So friend, don't let the cups drive you; enjoy the coffee instead."

From the page: "Making Life Yours
Perception
There is no secret recipe for happiness and contentment. The individuals who move through life joyously have not necessarily been blessed with lives of abundance, love, success, and prosperity. Such people have, however, been blessed with the ability to take the circumstances they've been handed and make them into something great. Our individual realities are colored by perception-delight and despair come from within rather than without. Situations we regard as fortuitous please us while situations we judge inauspicious cause us no end of grief. Yet if we can look at all we have accomplished without dwelling on our perceived misfortune and make each new circumstance our own, the world as a whole becomes a brighter place. A simple shift in attitude can help us recognize and unearth the hidden potential for personal and outer world fulfillment in every event, every relationship, every duty, and every setback. "

From the page: "Generic drug maker Perrigo Co. announced yesterday that 11 million bottles of the popular painkiller acetaminophen are being recalled because they may contain fragments of metal.
The recall affects bottles of 500-milligram acetaminophen in varying quantities that were sold under store-brand names at retailers such as Wal-Mart, Safeway, CVS and SuperValu. Perrigo says some affected bottles may have been sold as long as three years ago.
Though no injuries have yet been reported, many stores selling the possibly contaminated pills began pulling Perrigo-manufactured acetaminophen from shelves yesterday. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said 120 other major retailers sold Perrigo-made acetaminophen."

Black Civil-War Soldier Gets Overdue Honors : NPR
Rated • 1 review • history • npr.org
"For more than a century, Lt. Stephen Atkins Swails has lain in an unmarked grave in Charleston, S.C., his life story largely forgotten. But recently, local historians held a long overdue ceremony honoring the life of the extraordinary African-American soldier and statesman.
Swails was a member of the famous 54th Massachusetts Regiment, one of the country's first black fighting units, famous for storming Fort Wagner in South Carolina. The unit's story was told in the Hollywood film Glory."
