Put Your Glass Down!

Got this from an e-mail. Re-typed.

A professor began his class by holding up the glass with water in it.

"50g..!"

"100g..... 125g..!"

...the students answered.

"I really don't know the weight of this glass unless i weight it,"
says the professor.

"but, my question is : What will happen if i hold it up like this for a few minutes?"

"Nothing.." the students said.

"Ok, then what will happen if i hold it up for an hour?" the professor asked.

"You arm would begin to ache, sir." answered 1 of the students.

"You are right. Now, what will happen if i hold it up for a day?"

"Your arm could go numb, and might have severe muscle stress and paralysis and you would have to go to the hospital for sure!!"

..ventured another student and they all laughed.

"Very good. But during all this, did the weight of the glass change?" asked the professor.

"No..." was the answer.

"Then, what caused the arm ache and muscle stress?" 

The students were puzzled.

"Now, what should i do to come out of pain?" asked the professor again.

"Put the glass down..!" said one of the students.

"Exactly."

Life's problems are like this.

You hold it in your head for a few minutes, they seem ok.

Think of them for a long time and they begin to ache.

Hold them even longer and they will paralyze you.

You will not be able to do anything.

It's important to think of the challenges and problems in life, 

but what is more important is to

"PUT THEM DOWN"

at the end of every day and go to sleep.

That way, you wake up every morning feeling fresh, strong, and you can handle any challenges that comes in your way!

So, before you sleep tonight, remember to :

PUT YOUR GLASS DOWN.
