>A lecturer when explaining stress management to an audience, raised a glass
>of water and asked
>"How heavy is this glass of water?"
>Answers called out ranged from 20g to 500g.
>The lecturer replied, "The absolute weight doesn't matter.
>It depends on how long you try to hold it.
>If I hold it for a minute, that's not a problem.
>If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my right arm.
> If I hold it for a day, you'll have to call an ambulance.
>
>In each case, it's the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier
>it becomes."
>He continued,
>"And that's the way it is with stress management. If we carry our
>burdens all the time, sooner or later,as the burden becomes increasingly
>heavy, we won't be able to carry on. "
>"As with the glass of water, you have to put it down for a while and rest
>before holding it again. When we're refreshed, we can carry on with the
>burden."
> "So, before you return home tonight, put the burden of work down.
>Don't carry it home. You can pick it up tomorrow.
>Whatever burdens you're carrying now, let them down for a moment if you
>can."
>So, my friend, Put down anything that may be a burden to you right now.
>Don't pick it up again until after you've rested a while.
>Here are some great ways of dealing with the burdens of life:
>
>* Accept that some days you're the pigeon, and some days you're the
>statue.
>* Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat
>them.
>* Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the
>middle of it.
>* Drive carefully. It's not only cars that can be recalled by their
>maker.
>* If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.
>* If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again,
>it was probably worth it.
>* It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply be kind to others.
>* Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time,
>because then you won't have a leg to stand on.
>* Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.
>* Since it's the early worm that gets eaten by the bird, sleep late.
>* The second mouse gets the cheese.
>* When everything's coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.
>* Birthdays are good for you. The more you have, the longer you live.
>* You may be only one person in the world, but you may also be the world
>to one person.
>* Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.
>* We could learn a lot from crayons... Some are sharp, some are
>pretty and some are dull. Some have weird names, and all are different
>colors, but they all have to live in the same box.
> *A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.
> Have an awesome day and know that someone
>has thought about you today...I did.
