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 500gm.

"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 a moment if you can.

Pick it up again later when you have rested...

just in case you have to eat them.

<?/bigger><?/color><?color><?param 0000,0000,FFFF><?bigger>Always read stuff that will make you look
good if you die in the middle of it.

<?/bigger><?/color><?color><?param 0000,8080,0000><?bigger>Drive carefully. It's not only cars that
can be recalled by their maker.

<?/bigger><?/color><?color><?param FFFF,0000,0000><?bigger>Eat a live toad in the morning and nothing
worse will happen to you for the rest of the day.

<?/bigger><?/color><?color><?param 0000,8080,0000><?bigger>If you can't be kind, at least have the
decency to be vague.

<?/bigger><?/color><?color><?param 0000,0000,FFFF><?bigger>If you lend someone $20, and never see
that person again, it was probably worth it.

<?/bigger><?/color><?color><?param 0000,8080,0000><?bigger>It may be that your sole purpose in life
is simply to serve as a warning  to others.

<?/bigger><?/color><?color><?param FFFF,0000,0000><?bigger>Never buy a car you can't push.

<?/bigger><?/color><?color><?param 0000,8080,0000><?bigger>Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time, because then you don't have a leg to stand on.

<?/bigger><?/color><?color><?param 0000,0000,FFFF><?bigger>Nobody cares if you can't dance well.
Just get up and dance.

<?/bigger><?/color><?color><?param 0000,8080,0000><?bigger>The early worm gets eaten by the bird, so sleep late.

<?/bigger><?/color><?color><?param FFFF,0000,0000><?bigger>When everything's coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.

<?/bigger><?/color><?color><?param 0000,8080,0000><?bigger>Birthdays are good for you; the more you have, the longer you live.

<?/bigger><?/color><?color><?param 0000,0000,FFFF><?bigger>You may be only one person in the world,
but you may also be the world to one person.

<?/bigger><?/color><?color><?param 0000,8080,0000><?bigger>Some mistakes are too much fun to make only once.

<?/bigger><?/color><?color><?param 0000,0000,8080><?bigger>Don't cry because it's over; smile because it happened.

<?/bigger><?/color><?color><?param FFFF,0000,0000><?bigger>We could learn a lot from crayons:
some are sharp, some are pretty, some
are dull, some have weird names, and
all are different colors but they all
have to learn to live in the same box.

<?/bigger><?/color><?color><?param 0000,0000,FFFF><?bigger>A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.

<?/bigger><?/color><?color><?param 0000,8080,0000><?bigger>Happiness comes through doors you didn't even know you left open.
