A lecturer when explaining stress management to an audience, 
raised a glass of water and asked "How heavy is this glass of 
water? "Answers called out ranged from 20g to 500g.

The lecturer 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, "And that's the way it is with stress 
management. 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 tonight, put the burden of 
work down. Don't carry it home.  You can pick it up 
tomorrow.Whatever burdens you're carrying now, let 
them down for a moment if you can."

So, my friend put down anything that may be a burden
to you right now. Don't pick it up again until after 
you've rested a while.

Here are some great ways of dealing with the burdens of life:

* Accept that some days you're the pigeon, and some days 
you're the statue.

* Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you
have to eat them.

* Always read stuff that will make you look good if you 
die in the middle of it.

* Drive carefully. It's not only cars that can be recalled 
by their maker.

* If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be 
vague.

* If you lend someone $20 and never see that person 
again, it was probably worth it.

* It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to 
be kind to others.

* Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time,
because then you won't have a leg to stand on.

* Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up 
and dance.

* The second mouse gets the cheese.

* When everything's coming your way, you're in the 
wrong lane.

* Birthdays are good for you. The more you have, the
longer you live.

* You may be only one person in the world, but you 
may also be the world to one person.

* We could learn a lot from crayons... Some are sharp,
some are pretty and some are dull. Some have weird 
names, and all are different colors, but they all have 
to live in the same box.

*A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery
on a detour.

Have an awesome day and know that some one has 
thought about you today...  I did
