Once
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 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 & 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!
