A lecturer was giving a lecture to his student on stress management.
He raised a glass of water and asked the audience, "How heavy do you
think this glass of water is?"
The students' answers ranged from 20g to 500gm. "It does not matter on
the absolute weight. It depends on how long you hold it.
If I hold it for a minute, it is OK. If I hold it for an hour, I will
have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you will have to
call an ambulance. It is the exact same weight, but the longer I hold
it, the heavier it becomes."
"If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, we will not be
able to carry on, the burden becoming increasingly heavier." "What you
have to do is to put the glass down, rest for a while before holding it
up again." We have to put down the burden periodically, so that we can
be refreshed and are able to carry on.
So before you return home from work tonight, put the burden of work
down. Don't carry it back home. You can pick it up tomorrow. Whatever
burdens you are having now on your shoulders, let it down for a moment
if you can. Pick it up again later when you have rested...
Rest and relax.
Life is short, enjoy it!!
WORDS TO LIVE BY
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.
Drive carefully. It's not only cars that can be recalled by their
maker.
If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.
If you lend someone $20, and never see that person again, it was
probably worth 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.
Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time, because then you
don't have a leg to stand on.
Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.
The early worm gets eaten by the bird, so sleep late.
When everything's 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.
Some mistakes are too much fun to make only once.
Don't cry because it's over; smile because it happened.
We could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty,
some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors but they
all have to learn to live in the same box.
A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.
Happiness comes through doors you didn't even know you left open.
