A teacher was giving a lecture to his students on Stress Management.

He presented a glass of water and asked his audience, "How heavy do you think this glass of water is?"

The students' answers ranged from 4 oz. to 16 oz.

"It does not matter about the absolute weight. It depends on how long one holds it. If I hold it for a minute, it is fine, no problems. 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 an ambulance. It is the exact same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes."

"If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, we will not be able to carry on, the burden becomes increasingly heavier. What you have to do is to put the glass down, rest for a while before picking 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 return home from work tonight, put the burden of work down. Don't carry it back home. You can pick it up tomorrow.

Whatever burdens you have now on your shoulders, let them down for a break if you possibly can.

Pick them up again later after you have rested.

Rest and Relax.

Life is short, enjoy it!!
