A Professor began his class by holding up a glass with some water in
it.
He held it up for all to see & asked the students.
"How much do you think this glass weighs?"
'50gms!' .... '100gms!' .....'125gms'
..the students answered.
"I really don't know unless I weigh it," said the professor, "but, my
question is: What would happen if I held it up like this for a few
minutes?"
'Nothing' .....the students said.
'Ok what would happen if I held it up like this for an hour?' the
professor asked.
'Your arm would begin to ache' said one of the student.
"You're right, now what would happen if I held it for a day?"
"Your arm could go numb, you might have severe muscle stress &
paralysis & have to go to hospital for sure!" ventured another student & all
the students laughed.
"Very good. But during all this, did the weight of the glass change?"
asked the professor. 'No'.... Was the answer.
"Then what caused the arm ache & the muscle stress?"
The students were puzzled.
"What should I do now to come out of pain?" asked professor again.
"Put the glass down!" said one of the students
Exactly!" said the professor.
Life's problems are something like this. Hold it for a few minutes in
your head & they seem OK. Think of them for a long time & they begin to
ache. Hold it even longer & they begin to paralyze you. You will not
be able to do anything.
It's important to think of the challenges or problems in your life,
But EVEN MORE IMPORTANT is to 'PUT THEM DOWN' at the end of every day
before you go to sleep. That way, you are not stressed, you wake up every
day fresh & strong & can handle any issue, any challenge that comes
your way!
So, When you leave office today, Remember friend to 'PUT THE GLASS
DOWN TODAY!
