PUT THE GLASS DOWN

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!’ …..’125 gms’ …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?”
“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
So, when you start your day today,
Remember friend to ‘PUT THE GLASS DOWN,
TODAY! ‘[/b]

Yeah, its important we always don't allow our problems to cloud our existence, decide our living and define our reasoning and actions.

We all have problems, but those that ends up surmounting their are those that firstly, drop their problems and smiles even when all isn't well.
