“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 20grams to 500 grams. 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 it’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, the burden will become increasingly heavy, and 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 you are refreshed, you 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 are carrying now, let them down for a moment if you can. Put down anything that may be a burden to you right now. Don’t pick it up until after you’ve rested a while.”
“Here are some great ways of dealing with the burdens of life: Just accept that, some days, you are the pigeon, and some days you are the statue. Always keep your words soft and sweet – just in case you have to eat them. ”
“Always wear something that makes you look good, you might die in it. Drive with care, 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.”
“It you lend someone twenty dollars and never see that person again, it was probably worth it. It may be that your single 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. Since it’s the early worm that gets eaten by the bird, sleep late. When everything is coming your way, you are probably in the wrong lane. Birthdays are good for you. The more you have, the longer you live.”
“You may not be the only one person in the world, but you may be the world to one person. Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once. Others are too disastrous to ever make again. ”
“A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.”
“We could learn a lot from crayons….some are sharp, and some are dull. Some have pretty colors and all have color of some sort; some have weird names, but they all have to live in the same box.”
