A lecturer, when explaining stress management to an
> audience, raised a glass of water and asked, "How heavy
> is this glass of water? "
>
> Answers called out ranged from 8oz. to 20oz.
>
> The lecturer replied, "The absolute weight doesn't
> matter. It depends on how long you try to hold it."
>
>
> "If I hold it for a minute, that's not a
> problem. If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in
> my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you'll have to
> call an ambulance."
>
> "In each case it's the same weight, but the longer
> I hold it, the heavier it becomes."
>
> He continued, "And that's the way it is with
> stress management. If we carry our burdens all the time,
> sooner or later, as the burden becomes increasingly heavy,
> we won't be able to carry on."
>
> "As with the glass of water, you have to put it down
> for a while and rest before holding it again. When
> we're refreshed, we can carry on with the burden. "
>
> "So, before you return home tonight, put the burden of
> work/life down. Don't carry it home. You can pick it
> up tomorrow."
>
> "Whatever burdens you're carrying now, let them
> down for a moment if you can. Relax; pick them up later
> after you've rested. Life is short. Enjoy!"
>
> And then he shared some ways of dealing with the burdens of
> life:
>
> 1* Accept that some days you're the pigeon, and
> some days you're the statue.
>
> 2* Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case
> you have to eat them.
>
> 3* Always read stuff that will make you look good if
> you die in the middle of it.
>
> 4* Drive carefully. It's not only cars that can be
> recalled by their Maker.
>
> 5 * If you lend someone $20 and never see that person
> again, it was probably worth it.
>
> 6 * It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply
> to serve as a warning to others.
>
> 7 * Never buy a car you can't push.
>
> 8* Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time,
> because then you won't have a leg to stand on.
>
> 9* Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get
> up and dance.
>
> 10* Since it's the early worm that gets eaten by
> the bird, sleep late..
>
> 11 * The second mouse gets the cheese.
>
> 12* When everything's coming your way, you're
> in the wrong lane.
>
>
>
> 13* Birthdays are good for you. The more you have,
> the longer you live.
>
> 14* You may be only one person in the world, but you
> may also be the world to one person.
>
> 15 Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.
>
> 16* We could learn a lot from crayons. Some are sharp,
> some are pretty and some are dull. Some have weird names
> and all are different colors, but they all have to live in
> the same box.
>
> 17* A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the
> scenery on a detour..
>
>
> Have an awesome day and know that someone has thought about
> you today !!!
