Put The Glass Down

Once A professor began his class by holding up a glass with some waterin it. He held it up for all to see; asked the students, "How much do you think this glass weighs?'50gms! ' ?....'100gms! '......'125gms'.......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 itup like this for a few minutes?'. 'Nothing' the students said. 'OK what would happen if I held it up like this for an hour?' theprofessor 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?', asked theprofessor. 'Your arm could 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' said the professor. 'But duringall this, did the weight of the glass change?' the professor said withan element of concern'. 'No' replied the students. 'Then what caused the arm ache; the musclestress?Instead What should I do?', the professor questioned them with a tingeof introspection. The students were puzzled. 'Put the glass down!' saidone 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 paralyze you. You will not be able to do anything'. It's important to think of the challenges (problems) in your life, butEVEN MORE IMPORTANT to 'put them down' at the end of every day beforeyou go to sleep.
