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 500g.
The students’ answers ranged from 20g to 500g.
“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.Whatever burdens you are having now on your shoulders, let it down for moment if you can.
Life is short, enjoy it!!

Merry Christmas!
I haven't visited your blog for quite a while! Some of these recent posts definitely weren't written by you. But I'd love to read more of your work, instead of those from other ppl. Also make sure to indicate where you got certain paragraphs from, if they weren't written by you. Otherwise it's plagiarism, and that's not cool :)
Merry Chrismas! Yes, I've been busy, but now I hope to be getting back to usual.
How are you? I like this entry a lot.
