Stress Management Story

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 student answered ranged from 20-50gram.
It doesn't matter on the absolute weight. It depends on how long you hold it.
If I hold it for a minute, it’s 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 the ambulance.
It is the exact same weight, but the longer i hold it, the heavier it becomes."
"If we carry our burden 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 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 go home from work tonight, put the burden of work down. Don't carry it back home. You can pick it up tomorrow.
Whatever burden you are having now on your shoulders, let it down for a moment if you can.
Pick it up again later when you are rested...
Rest and relax...
Life is short enjoy it.
