Monday, April 18, 2005 Put The Glass Down
A professor began his glass by holding up a glass with some water in it. He held it up for all to see and asked the students,"How heavy do you think this glass weighs?" "50g!"..."100g"..."125g"...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 are right, now what would happen if I held it up 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 problem are something like this. Hold it for a few minutes in your head and they seem okay. 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 have 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 or any challenge that comes your way!" _______________________________________________________ This is an article for journal writing tis mth.
