How Heavy is a Glass of Water

Take few minutes of your busy hours to read this.
Hope you may solve many things..... How heavy is a Glass of Water.

A lecturer, when explaining stress management to an audience, raised aglass of water and asked, "how heavy is this glass of water?" Answers called out ranged from 20g to 500g. The lecturer replied, "Theabsolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long you try to holdit."
"If I hold it for a minute, that's not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day,you'll have to call an ambulance. In each case, it's the same weight,but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes." He continued, "And that's the way it is with stress management. If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, as the burden becomesincreasingly heavy, we won't be able to carry on." "As with the glass of water, you have to ! put it down for a while and rest before holding it again. When we're refreshed, we can carry on with the burden.
"So, before you return home tonight, put the burden of work down. Don't carry it home. You can pick it up tomorrow. Whatever burdens you're carrying now, let them down for a moment if you can."Relax; pick them up later after you've rested. Life is short liven. Enjoy it! And then the lecturer shared some ways of dealing with the burdens of life:
  • Accept that some days you're the pigeon, and some days you're the statue.
  • Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them.
  • Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the Middle of it.
  • It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.
  • Never buy a car you can't push.
  • Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.
  • When everything is coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.
  • Birthdays are good for you. The more you have, the longer you live.
  • You may be only one person in the world, but you may also be the world to one person.
  • A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour . . . . .
