  • Every major accomplishment began with a decision to act. What decisions have you put on hold today?

  • This is amazing and so simple! Live your life to the fullest, each and every day!

  • This video change my life .. I like it .. Amazing words

    Here is my channel ...

    Welcome every body ..

  • Sometimes life is not coffee but rather a quest for better and better coffee along with all attendant downsides. :)

  • very nice video! if you want to learn how to savor the coffee and not the cup, but need some guidance, visit my channel, Living Full Out!

  • It is absolutely correct

  • Thanks so much! It's an excellent story.

    I think knowledge is also like a cup of coffee. Sometimes your teachers are very bad, but don't worry! They're only cups. Enjoy coffee, enjoy knowledge!

  • I would take the plain looking cups and let the others enjoy the cups of their desire. Maybe thats why i live life happy :)

  • song is Kevin Michaels: I Ain't Got You

  • nice one..so motivating...

  • Does anyone know the title of this music??? Please??? :)

  • What's the title of the music? I just Love it!

  • This story it true up to a point. If we are going to continue the 'coffee' analogy then we have to consider the experience of drinking coffee. People definitely have favourite cups, I know I do and I know many people who do, so it is reasonable to believe that the 'cup' is an important part of the experience for most people.' Live simply' does not have to mean live poorly. We should always 'seek the best in life' as this is what we deserve. To do less would be an insult to your god.

  • @araneus1 I guess author means to use cup as a tool for life, not other way. If tool we choose is no way leading to life, it's not tool anymore :-)

  • @araneus1 BTW I completely agree with the point that "Live simply does not have to mean live poorly". Just that it should satisfy the other point too. After all "looking for best in life" is another form of quest for ultimate, which is natural.

  • This video has it wrong, the cups are jobs and possessions, the coffee is life but the sugar is money, life is bitter without a little sugar... Ask any person from a poor country.

  • Best video on Youtube ive seen ,thank u

  • I just found out my mom is going to die of terminal cancer the doctors have told her there is nothing more they can do. I have been looking for something that sums up life as we know it. After watching this video I can honestly say it has all come together now. and makes things much more clear.

  • @garettpayton why don't you like coffee?. . do you mean it literally or.....something like not literally?

  • wow. . on the last part of the video, it made me realize that doing things for others are the good things life has to have. . there;s nothing more like it!. . thumbs up for the author. . am so proud and glad that someone realized this while i sit on my comfortable couch not even knowing that life is more than what we have materialy. . T_T

  • Life is coffee is life.

  • I like this very much.thanks for this very inspiring video..

  • We might not see things clearly and even forget the nature of our existence but there could be some things staring us on the face--if only we have time to stop, think and ponder. Life is something borrowed but we're lucky enough to be in command of our borrowed life--whether to use it constructively or destructively depends upon us. But again we do not own our life it will be taken away from us.

  • Holy wow, totally sharing this on my blog! <3 Thank you!

  • Inspiring indeed..! To understand this, one need to discover himself...! :) @loyaann1-- Video aint asking u to not take the cup..! It is just saying tht dont look at the type of cup while choosing coz its job is JUST to hold the coffee..! :)

  • Consider this...What is the Coffee without the Cup?

  • @loyaann1 coffee

  • @loyaann1 Ah, true. But the cup is merely decorative. WHICH cup you use is of no difference, it still has coffee in it.

  • That was the first time I had listened this video at SOZO club. It's wonderful!

  • Such a true and very inspiring video!!

  • God wants us to live our dreams here on earth what ever it takes that's what living is all about

  • worst karaoke ever

  • @Mistabig LOL

  • the first thing that caught my attention is the music then the lyrics.

  • I don't fucking like coffee...ohh that makes sense.

  • the music track is quite distracting from the quality story =/ perhaps something softer, slower and instrumental would be appropriate

  • Just Love It..

    

  • We're not gonna be here for ever and that's the fact of life. So live life as like there's no tommorow.

  • Men for the sake of getting a living forget to live.

  • MUST WATCH REALLY EASES YOUR STREE...AS WE ARE A CAUSE TO OUR STRESSFUL LIVES...LIVE SIMPLE AND ENJOYABLE LIFE

  • learned a lot from this clip

  • "None of you believes until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself"

    Muhammed the prophet of islam-peace be upon him .

  • Julia gillard needs to watch this...

  • I once had a life, but then I took an arrow to the knee

  • @Vilaipwn what an excellent entry!

  • Life is like a penis. It's short, but seems so long when it gets hard.

  • lessons for art of living.

  • What a great video

  • This makes me feel so great. Love.-3

  • Some reason I find myself watching this over an over all the time. I JUST LOVE IT!!

  • I woke up this morning to redo a paper I did for college that wasnt very good and found this video in my messages - what a difference it has made in how I view my life! Even though I already knew the message (in my heart) it is always good to hear it from 10,000 other people who agree "keeping it simple" is where life truly begins. A lovely reminder for on a "Black Friday!" Happy Holidays UTube!

  • I have IBS and coffee destroys my intestines(due to the caffiene).

    Does that mean that the metaphor for my life is that I can't have it?

  • if you have a crappy cup (tools to contain the coffee: jobs, position etc.)... you could lose your coffee...

  • can somebody tell me what is the title of the music ? thank you :D

  • like and favorite ))

  • Too awesome !

  • actually he was not a professor, he was a zen master who did this...but it doesn't matter...the message matters...

  • @websoull He gave u coffe to taste. And u just cant let the cup out of your comment. THIS IS COFFEE!

  • @Pray4BetterDayz hahaha...so true::)

  • i want to download it to show my students plz allow

  • The writer is unknown, but his (or her) job is amazing. Good influence!

  • @Anastasia910Peace The best!

  • thanks for you and the normal and philosopical video.

  • Thank you!

  • what an amazing story! <3

  • high

    

  • This video is really inspirational. There are times human beings are so blinded by chasing over material satisfaction such as money and forget about what life is truly about. This video really serves as a reminder for us to live life to its fullest, putting aside the chase for the redundance that we think we need to live a quality life.

  • nice video... exceptional.. :)

  • the 1oth time watching this vid

  • Good reminder that life is short and thus we need to focus on things that really matter. Like loving God And loving others.

  • Beautiful, thank you for sharing :)

  • this is so true

  • only 2,390,549 view? this video deserve more

  • My teacher forced us to watch this for an assignment in my college English class. I was quite offended. Perhaps if we were in the sixth grade, it would be appropriate. She is an absolute idiot. The whole situation, video included, inspired me to drink a gallon of coffee, throw every coffee cup I own at the wall, and scream at the top of my lungs. Thank you, Mrs. I-Shouldn't-Be-Teaching-Anyone­-Anything-Other-Than-How-To-Ra­ge!

  • @remusic1113 You, sir, have some serious issues to work on O.o

  • This is a great great message, so awesome!

  • could not be more true!

  • Totally awesome !! Totally true !!

  • It's maybe true for coffee, but wine definitely tastes different in diverging glasses... though, still a beautiful story :-)

  • I have two favorite cups, one is a tall slim bone chine cup with roses on it, the other is a short fat dumpy builders mug that has a slight chip in it, either or suffices. Most people are obsessed with form, the outer packaging, we need to strip away the physical layers and get to the really important stuff. Wonderful and inspiring clip.

  • Comment removed

  • very well done video lovely music to go with very lovely thoughts. sorry one or two feel the need to comment out of there bitter cups or are they Mugs ? Crying shame :~( Still your video made me smile. Got a feeling my next coffee will be very nice like a cup mate ? (~:

  • Beautiful and thought provoking! Thanque so much 4 the post!

    Timothy

    :o)

  • Beautiful images and a sweet story. The Dutch expression "The eye wants something also" pertaining to good tasting food which in itself is not enough as it really rather should look appetising also, came to mind here.

    I'm not at all into materialistic things and don't dress to be seen (don't give a hoot) but I like my coffee in a whole, smart and arty looking mug, damnit! :)

  • there is no value in life without God, Jesus....he is your eternity and being full of him will determine where you end up

  • Amazing word,s & so true!

  • i absolutely love my coffee hot and strong

    go the rEVOLution

  • ....very moving...

  • 110 people love cup, not coffee! :D

  • Can anyone tell me what is the name of the piece of music used?

  • i never looked at a cup of coffe that way very inspirational i must say ,make a very good point alot tho

  • Comment removed

  • ..very familiar message

  • very inspiring..i think we dnt have to understand it literally..the message is so simple..that we can be happy and contented even if we dnt have all the best in life..some people strive so hard to gain the top..even putting others down..why not savor and enjoy the taste of cofee,,be it with cream or milk in your most humble way..

  • I thought life was the coffee - and we shouldn't care about that cup - why is it called "life is like a cup of coffee". It should be renamed - life is like coffee.

    But then that doesn't make sense because coffee is only good if you add stuff to it like milk and sugar. So life is only good if make it sweeter? I"m so confused.

  • Can I please re-post this on my channel?

  • Just fantastic, made me stop and think about my coffee and what is important in my life. Forget to give thanks to my life.

  • thanks i feel that much Blessed with it!!! beaUtIfuL!!!

  • WOW! I've heard this expression on many different occasions, but i've never really understood it until now. I feel like it was meant for me because that's the outlook I have on my life. My day consist of many obstacles, and I struggle everyday just to maintain, but i strive to be the best at everything I do,even though i fall short sometimes and get discouraged.

  • Pretty good music.

  • Genau so ist es - toll gemacht dieses Video:-)

  • Great Video!

  • ☆◠‿◠☆ ♥♥

  • I always thought life was like a box of chocolate? :D

  • @UniqueGeekFreak is that what your mama always said?

  • Life inspiring video-on the reversed side of the story the cup which may stand as the foundation contains a good tasting coffee!!! hmmn coffee. brewed ba dayta.... I salute parents whose children have succeeded because they set good foundations.

  • THE HAPPIEST PEOPLE DONT HAVE THE BEST OF EVERYTHING. THEY JUST MAKE THE BEST OF EVERYTHING.LIVE SIMPLY, DONT BE GREEDY OF EVERYTHING.LET GOD DIRECT YOUR PATH.RICH OR POOR IT DOESN'T. LIVE WITH GOD. =)

  • this video is so very nice to  simple people lyk me but for the other who has a dream to be rich they cannot appreciate this video...

  • Nespresso, what else?

    

  • I prefer a durable travel mug - something that keeps the heat, doesn't crack and still holds coffee even after some hard use.

  • My teacher showed me this video and I have to agree with what the video says

  • You know people God gave us the Power to Create Wealth and the Power to Create Our Future If you Only BELIEVE, I believe you have been looking for a way to change you life and if you have go to this site: whynotworkathomenow don't forget the .com and let me help you with your financial goals.

  • I like this story, thank you for making this story. I really did appreciate it.

  • thank u thank u for making this

  • I thought the guy just said "Life is the Coffee" and the "Status in life they desired" was the Cup. Now he ends with "Life is like a Cup of Coffee"! :P

    Great Idea...ironic title :P

  • People should really take notice of this video clip, it gives the answer to what is the meaning of life. Not to be famous, make money, successful etc. but to be one with everything, to be grateful for what you have to make the best of the situation, to help others. For me meaning of life is to help others that cannot help themselves or cannot speak for themselves, namely the nature and wildlife.

  • This video made me just stop and think about the blessings of Yahweh Elohim in my life one day at a time and I am so very thankful. Shalini

  • Made Me Smile.

    before the video i've always thought that life was about studying and working, i didn't know how to stop to lift my head up and savour the scenery around me. I've always been tought that education is everything to a happy life. Hopefully i`ll be able to live happy.

  • wow

  • very inspiring,i love this video...:)

  • Amazing the world should know this and stop making stupid excuses on life!

    We can do anything we want if we really want to..

    LIFE comes only once in some perspective!

    But, work to your fullest and enjoy life..

    Its Amazing what the internet can do these days.

  • FalseAndUtopian i guess you are the plastic plain-looking cup that is not content with your life. anyway its not about second best, its about being happy with what you have now and appreciate it. not many people are lucky like you to even have and computer, you know

  • Comment removed

  • Oh this isn't motivational at all, this is just emotional bullshit. I prefer videos that encourage you to be the best, not settle for second best

  • WOW! So beautiful... THANK YOU SO MUCH! : )

  • superb

  • The cup is the Word of God a container of God's thoughts. The letter kills without understanding the thought behind the word or the living water of comparing Spiritual with Spiritual. (RHEMA) In other words our thoughts can cause dissociation (mind control) in knowing the mind of Christ.

  • Money cannot buy the things that are most important in life: true love, joy, peace, trust, honesty, faithfulness, gentleness, mercy, and most important of all, redemption. If we could see the world through God's eyes, I believe we would weep when we consider the things people value. Now that I am 65, things look much different than they did when I was 25. When I consider eternity, I shutter to think of the time and energy I wasted looking for the things God freely gives when we trust Him.
