A glass of Water

A speaker when addressing the audience, raised a glass of water and asked,
"how heavy is this glass of water?"

Answers called out ranged from 20g to 500g.


The speaker replied, "The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long you try to hold it."

If I hold it for a minute, that's not a problem.

If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my right arm.

If I hold it for a day,you'll have to call an ambulance.

In each case, it's the same weight, but the longer I hold it,

the heavier it becomes.

He continued, "If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, as the burden becomes increasingly heavy, we won't be able to carry on."


"As with the glass of water, you have to put it down for a while and rest
before holding it again. When we're refreshed, we can carry on with the burden."

So, before you return home this evening, put the burden of yours down.

Do not carry it home. You can pick it up tomorrow. Whatever burdens you're
carrying now, let them down for a moment if you can.
Relax; pick them up later after you've rested. Life is short. Enjoy it!

Have an awesome Monday, folks.

You may be only one person in the world,

but you may also be the world to one person.
