put the glass down

[erection2015]

A professor entered the class and held up a glass of water. He asked
his students, "How much does this glass weigh?"
"100 grams? 125 grams?" ventured his students.
"Maybe," replied the professor. "Now, if I were to hold it at arms'
length for a while, what would happen to my arm?"
"Nothing," replied his students.
"Good. What about if I held it for an hour?"
"Your arm would start to ache, sir!" chorused his students.
"What if I held it for a day?"
"Then your arm would start to feel numb, it may even get paralysed and
you may have to amputate it!" teased one student.
The class and the professor laughed.
"True," answered the professor. "And in all this while, did the weight
of the glass change?"
"No," answered his students.
"Now, imagine this glass was full of your problems of the day. If you
hold it for a while in your head, it will be OK. If you start to hold
it inside you for an hour, you will start to have a headache and if
you hold it for a day, it will paralyse you. Life's problems are as
such. It is important to think about them, but it is equally important
to put them down at the end of the day, or they will paralyse you and
you won't be able to do anything."

So remember to put the glass down!

this is very good story as majority of us cannot put down the glass most of the time.

deep. Can I ask with advise if you are not successful with the goal do you put it down and move on to the next goal or resolve to lighten the goal through help, perseverance or spread the problem to lighten the load and be stubborn about it until succeed?

bro..the last bit says ... ' think about them ' ....i suppose it means to try to take steps to resolve them.

If really cant do it alone then get help to lighten the load.

If really cant ...e.g totally unreasonable boss who doesnt appreciate you and your efforts ...then go somewhere else and target new

goals.

Perseverance is good but you shouldn't keep on hitting your head against the wall. Have to recognise when to hold and when to fold bro.

That is why I read someone advising that if you have a tiff with the wife or GF, talk it over and settle it before going to sleep.
