<b>Put the Glass Down</b>
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
âHow much do you think this glass weighs?â
â50gms!â â¦. â100gms!â â¦..â125gmsâ
..the students answered.
âI really donât know unless I weigh it,â said the professor, âbut, my question
is
What would happen if I held it up like this for a few minutes?â
âNothingâ â¦..the students said.
âOk what would happen if I held it up like this for an hour?â the professor
asked.
âYour arm would begin to acheâ said one of the student
âYouâre right, now what would happen if I held it for a day?â
âYour arm could go numb, you might have severe muscle stress & paralysis & have
to go to hospital for sure!â
â¦.. ventured another student & all the students laughed
âVery good.
But during all this, did the weight of the glass change?â
asked the professor.
âNoââ¦. Was the answer.
âThen what caused the arm ache & the muscle stress?â
The students were puzzled.
âWhat should I do now to come out of pain?â asked professor again.
âPut the glass down!â said one of the students
âExactly!â said the professor.
Lifeâs 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.
Itâs important to think of the challenges or problems in your life,
but EVEN MORE IMPORTANT is to âPUT THEM DOWNâat 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 !
