Weight of Glass - motivational story

Put The Glass Down

A professor started the class holding a glass full of water in his hand. He held it up and showed it to all the students and asked, "How much do you think  the glass  will weigh?"

50gm …. 100gm … 125gm … the students answered.

“I can't tell its exact weight until I weigh it”, said the professor. But I have a question:

What will happen if I hold this glass like this for a while?

'Nothing' …said the students.

"Well, what if I hold it like this for an hour?" , the professor asked.

"Your hand will start to ache", said one student.

"You're right, what if I keep it like this all day?"

“Your hand may go numb, you may get severe muscle tension, paralysis and you may have to go to the hospital for sure”….said a student, and everyone else laughed…

“Very good, but did the weight of the glass change during this time?” Professor asked.

came the answer.."No".

"Then why the pain in the hand and the tension in the muscles?"

Students were surprised.

Then the professor asked, "What should I do to get rid of the pain now?"

Put down the glass! said a student.

" Absolutely right!" The professor said.

Life's problems are also like this. Keep them in your mind for some time and everything will seem fine. Think about them for too long and you will start feeling pain. And keep them in your mind for some more time and they will start paralyzing you. And you will not be able to do anything.

It's important to think about the challenges and problems in your life, but it's even more important to jot them down at the end of the day before you go to bed. That way, you won't be stressed, you'll wake up each day strong and refreshed to face whatever challenges may come your way.
