Put The Glass Down

[springtime]

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!

End

Hope u all find it useful

Thanks in advance for reading...

i really liked it sister/brother
thanks so much for this good example
.....true
....very true
but the problem is that ppl r really unable to put their problems down




it seems to be too difficult
and one wouldnt sleep until s/he has thought of everything
we only sleep coz we get too much tired
otherwise,, we would stay awake all night,, and even all day


thanks soooooooooooo much
very reasonable

hiiiiii springtime
when i started to read i thought it for another story .....but i noticed that it has some changes

regarding to the main point .. specific problems we can't forget or ignore even a minute ....it seems to be life or dead

i know that the problems exhaust our minds and hurt us...so we need to follow this professor's way to let us think for the solution of these problems

this is what i wanna say ....and i appreciate if u give us the source of this event

have a good day/night

Heyyyyyyyyy all

How are you?? Hope you all doing fine



Thank you sooooooooo much for reading the topic and commenting on it……It is very encouraging to post more topics…. I really appreciate it



I know that it is natural that we think of our problems all the time, yet we shouldn’t take them with us to bed…. You know why? Simply because Allah takes very good care of us and what considered to be problems might have hidden advantages that are beyond our knowledge. Besides, sometimes things happen in a way that we can’t neither explain nor control no matter how hard we try. Allah might examine our patience and faith by getting us through some difficulties and troubles; He might want to listen to our prayers asking Him to help us



So let’s keep faith and don’t bother ourselves by holding our problems all the time



Dear Another-one, as for your request, I mentioned that I got this topic from a friend of mine by e-mail and frankly speaking, I don’t know the source of it specifically



Again Thanks Makawea, Nakash rose and Another-one…

Many thanks as well for those who read the topic and didn’t or couldn’t comment



Cheer up alllllllllllllllll



Best Regards

Hey again...


I think that I made a mistake
I should have said [we can neither explain nor contrl] not as I wrote can't

I wanted to make this clear in order not to confuse others
Correct me if I'm mistaken

Thanks all
Bye for now
