How to make a great week ahead..?

A professor began his class by holding up a glass with some water in

it. He held it up for all to see & asked the students, 'How much do

you think this glass weighs?'....'50 gms!' .... '100 gms!'

......'125 gms' ......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're right, now what would happen if I held it for a day?' ''Your

arm could go numb, you might have severe muscle stress & paralysis &

have to go to hospital for sure!' ventured another student & all the

students laughed. 'Very good. But during all this, did the weight of

the glass change?' asked the professor.'No', said the students in one

voice!



'Then what caused the arm ache & the muscle stress?' The students

were puzzled.'Put the glass down!' said one of the students.

'Exactly!' said the professor.' Life's problems are something like

this. Hold it for a few minutes in your head & they seem OK. Think of

them for a long time & they begin to ache. Hold it even longer &

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 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 & strong & can handle any

issue, any challenge that comes your way!'

So, remember to PUT THE GLASS DOWN

TODAY...EVERYDAY......and make it a great week ahead!!!
