A nice story about heavy burden in life.
While giving a lecture on Stress Management, Steven Covey raised a glass of water and asked his students:
"How heavy do you think this glass of water?" The students answered ranging from 200 gr to 500 gr.
"It's not a matter of absolute weight, but it depends how long you hold it." Covey said.
"If I hold it for a minute, no problem. If I hold it for an hour, my right arm will be sore. And if I hold it for a full day, maybe you have to call an ambulance for me. It weighs exactly the same, but the longer I hold, then the burden will be heavier. "
"If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later we will not be able to carry on. The burden becoming increasingly heavier." Covey further.
"What we should do is put the glass down, rest for a moment before lifting it again".
We must leave the burden periodically, so that we can be refreshed and able to carry on. So before going home from work this afternoon, the burden of work. Do not take home. That burden can be taken again tomorrow. Whatever burdens on your shoulders today, trying to leave for a moment if you can. After a rest day can be taken again ......

During the life issues will always exist. All people experience it, not just you alone. The problem will be lost when someone dies. In fact there are certain people who have died and still leave the problem for the people around who are still alive. Indeed, that's life. That is the reality that must be endured. Stop grumbling and be sad when you're in trouble. Everything is not going to be okay if we do not try to get out of the circle problem. At least for a moment. Enjoy your life!
