[About a short story I read]
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?"
"500 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,sir!", the students said.
"Ok! Now,what would happen if I held it up like this for an hour?",prof. asked.
"Your arm would begin to ache.",said one of the students.
"You're right.And,what would happen if I held it up like this 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 the students laughed.
"Very good.But,during all this;did the weight of the glass change?" ,asked the prof.
"No",students replied.
"Then what caused the arm ache and muscle stress?"
Students were puzzled!
"Put the glass down",said a student.
"Exactly!!" said the prof.
"Life's problems are something like this.Hold it for a few minutes in your head and they seem okay.Think for them for a long time and they begin to ache.Hold it even longer and they begin to paralyze you.You will not be able to do anything!"
It's important to think of the problems in your life, but Even More Important is to have trust in God and 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 and can handle any issue,any challenge that comes your way!
So,remember friend. Put The Glass Down Today and have tranquility by putting trust in Almighty!
