Stop worrying

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 would 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 "

" 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
paralyse you. You will not be able to do anything.

It's important to think of the challenges ( problems ) in your life, but
it's 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 fresh &
strong & can handle any issue, any challenge that comes your way. "

So, as you sleep remember to ' Put The Glass Down Today!!!!! '
