A professor began his class by holding up a glass with some water in it
He held it up for all to see and 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 students
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 and
paralysis and have to go to hospital for sure,
ventured another student
and all the students laughed
Very good
But during all this, did the weight of the glass change, asked the professor
No
Then what caused the arm ache and the muscle stress
The students were puzzled
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 and they seem OK
Think of them for a long time and they begin to ache
Hold it even longer and they begin to paralyze you
You will not be able to do anything
It's important to think of the challenges
(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 and strong,
and can handle any issue
any challenge that comes your way
So, as it becomes time for you to leave office today, remember to
PUT THE GLASS
