the Glass Down<BR><BR>A lecturer was giving a lecture to his student on stress
management.<BR><BR>He raised a glass of water and asked the audience, "How
heavy do you think this glass of water is?"<BR><BR>The students' answers
ranged from 20g to 500gm.<BR><BR>"It does not matter on the absolute weight.
It depends on how long you hold it.<BR><BR>If I hold it for a minute, it is
OK.<BR><BR>If I hold it for an hour, I will have an ache in my right
arm.<BR><BR>If I hold it for a day, you will have to call an
ambulance.<BR><BR>It is the exact same weight, but the longer I hold it, the
heavier it becomes."<BR><BR>"If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or
later, we will not be able to carry on, the burden becoming increasingly
heavier."<BR><BR>"What you have to do is to put the glass down, rest for a
while before holding it up again."<BR><BR>We have to put down the burden
periodically, so that we can be refreshed and are able to carry on.<BR><BR>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.<BR><BR>Whatever burdens
you are having now on your shoulders, let it down for a moment if you
can.<BR><BR>Pick it up again later when you have rested...<BR><BR><?/bigger><?/color><?color><?param FFFF,0000,0000><?bigger>Rest
