Put the glass down
A lecturer was giving a lecture to his student on stress management.He raised a glass of water and asked the audience,”How heavy do you think this glass of water is?”
The students’ answers ranged from 20g to 500g.
“It does not matter on the absolute weight.It depends on how long you hold it.If I hold it for a minute,it is OK.If I hold it for an hour,I will have an ache in my right arm.If I hold it for a day,you will have to call an ambulance.It is the exact same weight,but the longer I hold it,the heavier it becomes.
“If we carry our burdens all the time,sooner or later,we will not be able to carry on,the burden becoming increasingly heavier.
“What you have to do is to put the glass down,rest for a while before holding it up again.”
We have to put down the burden periodically,so that we can be refreshed and are able to carry on.
So before you return home from work tonight,put the burden of work down.Don’t carry it back home.You can pick it up tomorrow.
Whatever burdens you are having now on your shoulders,let it down for moment if you can.
Life is short,enjoy it!
题目是 放下手中的杯子
全文大意是 讲师问学生装有水的杯子的重量,学生回答不一.而老师解释说,杯子的重量不是既定的,举得越久,手就越酸,杯子也就越重.由此强调人们在遇到压力的时候,与其一直担负,不如时而放下包袱,享受生活的快乐.
关键句是:Whatever burdens you are having now on your shoulders,let it down for moment if you can.
Life is short,enjoy it!
