你的玻璃杯重嗎Put the Glass Down

佚名/Anonymous

A lecturer was giving a lecture to his students on stress management. He raised a glass of water and asked the audience¹，"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 ambulance².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 periodically³，so that we can be refreshed⁴and 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 a moment if you can.

Life is short, enjoy it！

一位老師正在給學生們講解如何處理壓力。他把一杯水舉起來，問大家：“你們估計這杯水會有多重？”

學生們的答案從20克到500克不等。

“這杯水的重量其實由你舉的時間來決定，而與它的實際重量無關。我要是舉一分鐘，肯定沒問題；但要是舉一小時，右臂就會酸疼；若舉一天，那你們就該叫救護車了。它的實際重量并沒有改變，只是我舉的時間越長，就會覺得它越沉重。

“如果我們始終都肩負擔子，總會有熬不住的時候，擔子也會變得更加沉重。

“你只需放下杯子，歇息一會兒后再舉起來?！?/p>

我們一定要不時地將負擔放下，如此才有利于精力的恢復，繼續新的征程。

因此，今晚下班回家后，不要再去想工作的事情，不要把工作壓力帶回家。你可以第二天再擔負起它。

不管你此刻肩負怎樣的重擔，如果可以，都要將其卸下，休息一會兒。

生命暫短，盡情享受吧！
