Remember  to PUT THE GLASS DOWN TODAY!That is life!

Once 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?'

 

`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 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' replied the students.

 

`Then what caused the arm ache and 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 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 (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 and strong and can

handle any issue, any challenge that comes your way!'
