Put the burden down!

[Guest guest]

 

Put the Glass Down !  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.  Life is short, enjoy it!!
