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 …. )


( 50 gms………….100 gms…………125 gms , ) the student 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 few minutes ??? )

( Nothing ) ,,,, the student said.


( Ok what would happen if I held it up
like this for an hour??? ) Professor asked.

( Your arm would begin to ache, ) said one of the students.



( You are right,,, now what would happen if I held it for a day ??? )


( Your arm could go numb,,, )
( You might have severe muscle stress and paralysis,,, )
( And have to go to hospital for sure !! )

Ventured , another student and all students laugh…


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

( NO ) …….. was the answer


( Then what cause the arm ache and the muscle stress ) ……..
the students were puzzled.

( What should I do to come out of the pain ? ) asked the professor again .

( Put the glass down !!! ) said one of the students


( Exactly,,,) said the professor

( LIFE PROBLEMS ARE SOME THING LIKE THIS )
Hold it for few minutes in your head and they seem ok
Think of them for a long time and they begin to ache
Hold it ever longer and they begin to paralyze you
You will not be able to do any thing

Its is important to think of the challenges
Or problems in your life,

But even more important is 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 , and strong
And can handle any issue………
Any challenges that comes your way…..


So,,,,
When you leave office today…………..
Put the glass down !!!!
