The enlightened professor

Ok let's begin with a story about a professor and his class.
Professor began his class by holding up a glass with some water in it.
He asked the students 'What would happen to the weight of this glass of water if I held it up for a few minutes?'
'Nothing' the students answered.
'Ok what would happen if I held it up for an hour?' the professor asked.
'Your arms would ache' answered one student.
'Now what would happen if I held it for a day?' the professor continued.
'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 everybody laughed.
'Very good. But during all this, did the weight of the glass change?' asked the professor.
'No'
'Then what caused the arm ache and the muscle stress?'
'Put the glass down!' said one of the students.
'Exactly!' said the professor. 'Life's problems are something like this.
Hold it for a few minutes in your head and they seem Ok. Think of them for a long time and they began 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 challenges in your life, but even more important to PUT THEM DOWN at the end of every day before you got to sleep. That way, you are not stressed, you wake up every day fresh and strong and can handle any issue, any challenges that comes your way.
So remember to PUT YOUR GLASS DOWN today.
