Hello all:)
I got the following topic by e-mail.... I really found it very interesting, very logical and soooo helpful for all of us
So I would like you all to share the benefits... I know that some of you might have read it before, but it is really good for those who haven't seen it yet
Here's the topic.....
Put The Glass Down
Once 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 students. 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 replied the students
Then what caused the arm ache; the muscle stress?' Instead What should I
do?
The students were puzzled.
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 (problems) in your life, but EVEN MORE IMPORTANT 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!
