A Professor began his class by holding
up a glass with some water in it. He held it up for all to see and asked the
students, "How much do you think this glass weighs?"
"50g!"
...."100g!" ..... "125g!" ... 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.
"Okay
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 and paralysis and have
to go to hospital for sure!" ventured another student and 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 and 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 and
they seem OK.
Think
of them for a long time and they begin to ache.
Hold
it even longer and 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 and strong and can
handle any issue, any challenge that comes your way!
So,
when your day ends today, remember my friends to ...
PUT
THE GLASS DOWN!
