The 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!'.....'1 00gms!'.....'12
5gms' ....the
students answered.
"I really don't know unless I
weigh it," said the
professor, "but, my question is:
What would
happen if I hel the 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
student.
"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! So, when you start your
day today,
Remember friend to ‘PUT THE
GLASS DOWN
TODAY!
