Once A professor began his class by holding up a glass with some
water in it. He held it up for all to see and asked the students, "How
much do you think this glass weighs?

"50gms!"....''100gms!''...''125gms''... 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.

"Okay, 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. Everyone laughed.

"Very good. But during all this, did the weight of the glass change?"
Asked the professor.

"No." replied the students

"Then what caused the arm ache and the muscle
stress? Instead what should I do with the glass?"

The students were puzzled.

After a couple of minutes, one student yelled, "You should put the glass down!"

"Exactly!" said the professor.

"Life's problems are something like this:
Hold it for a few minutes in your head; they seem Okay. 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!"

Remember to PUT THE GLASS DOWN TODAY! That's life!!!
