PUT THE GLASS DOWN

A professor began a class by holding a glass of water in it. 

He held it up for all to see

and asked the students, "How much do you think this glass 

weighs?"

'50gms!'...'100gms!'...'125!'... the students answered.


"I really don't know unless I weigh it," said the professor, 

"but, my question is: What 

would happen if I held it up like this for a few minutes?'

Nothing" the students said.


"Ok! What would happen if I held it up like this for an hour?" 

the Professor asked.

"Your arm would begin to ache," said one of the students.

"You're right, now what would happen if I held it for a day?"

"Your arm could go frozen, you might have sever muscle 

stress and paralysis and have to go to 

Hospital for sure" ventured another student; and all the 

students laughed.

"Very good but during all this, did the weight of the glass 

change?" asked the professor.

"No" the student said.

"Then what caused the arm ache and the muscle stress?" 

The student was puzzled.

"Put the Glass down!" said one of the students.

"Exactly said the professor “Life’s problems are something 

like this Hold it for a few 

minutes in your head and they seem okay. Think of them for 

a long time and they begin to ache. 

Hold it even longer and they begin to paralyze you. You will 

not be able to do anything."

"It's important to think of the challenges (problems) in your 

life, but EVEN MORE IMPORTANT is 

To have trust in God and to 'put them down' at the end of 

every day before you go to sleep. That

way, you are not stressed, you wake up every day fresh and 

strong and can handle any issue, 

any challenges that comes your way!

Remember Friend to "PUT THE GLASS DOWN TODAY!" and 

have tranquillity by putting trust in Almighty God!! 

LESSON: By worrying so much, do not turn your life to hell.
