    A professor holds up a glass of water in class and asks students what would happen if he held it up for different periods of time. While the weight of the glass would not change, holding it for a long time would cause muscle strain and pain in the arm. Similarly, thinking about life's problems for a long time can paralyze you, even if the problems themselves don't change. It's important to acknowledge challenges but also to "put the glass down" at the end of the day so you can wake up fresh and able to handle what comes your way.

    The Professor began his class by holding up a glass with some water in 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 dont know unless I weigh it, said the professor, but, my question is: What would happen if I held it up like this for a few minutes? Nothing ..the students said. Ok what would happen if I held it up like this for an hour? the professor asked. Your arm would begin to ache said one of the student Youre right, now what would happen if I held it for a day? 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. But during all this, did the weight of the glass change? Asked the professor. No. Was the answer. Then what caused the arm ache & the muscle stress? The students were puzzled. What should I do now to come out of pain? asked professor again. Put the glass down! said one of the students Exactly! said the professor.
