Put The Glass Down Today!
The 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?” asked the professor again.
“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!
Moral of the story?
So, when you start your day today, Remember friend to ‘PUT
THE GLASS DOWN TODAY!‘
