Added: 2026-05-17

[00:00:00]A professor visited a wise  master to learn about life.

[00:00:03]As they talked, the master began  pouring tea into the professor’s cup.

[00:00:06]The cup filled up… But the master kept pouring.

[00:00:10]Tea spilled everywhere.

[00:00:11]The professor jumped up and shouted, “Stop! The cup is already full!”

[00:00:16]The master calmly replied, “Just like your mind.”

[00:00:20]“You cannot learn anything new until you  empty what you already think you know.”

[00:00:24]Lesson: An open mind is the beginning of wisdom.
