Subject: Fw: How heavy is your Glass?
I liked this....corny or not.. Jim Sinclair
LESSON FOR EVERYONE HERE.
A young lady confidently walked around
the room while leading and explaining
stress management to an audience; with
a raised glass of water, and everyone
knew she was going to ask the ultimate
question, 'half empty or half full?' she
fooled them all... "How heavy is this glass
of water?", she inquired with a smile.
Answers called out ranged from 8 oz. to
20 oz.

She replied, "The absolute weight doesn't
matter. It depends on how long I 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."
She continued, "and that's the way it is
with stress. 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 - holding
stress longer and better each time
practiced. So, as early in the evening as
you can, put all your burdens down. Don't
carry them through the evening and into

the night... pick them up tomorrow.
Whatever burdens you're carrying now,
let them down for a moment. Relax, pick
them up later after you've rested. Life is
short. Enjoy it and the now 'supposed'
stress that you've conquered!"
1 * Accept the fact that some days you're the
pigeon, and some days you're the statue!
2 * Always keep your words soft and
sweet, just in case you have to eat them.
3 * Always read stuff that will make you
look good if you die in the middle of it.
4 * Drive carefully... It's not only cars that
can be recalled by their Maker..
5 * If you can't be kind, at least have the
decency to be vague
6 * If you lend someone $20 and never

see that person again, it was probably
worth it..
7 * It may be that your sole purpose in life
is simply to serve as a warning to others.
8 * Never buy a car you can't push.
9 * Never put both feet in your mouth at
the same time, because then you won't
have a leg to stand on.
10 * Nobody cares if you can't dance well.
Just get up and dance.
11 * Since it's the early worm that gets
eaten by the bird, sleep late.
12 * The second mouse gets the cheese.
13 * When everything's coming your way,
you're in the wrong lane.

14 * Birthdays are good for you. The
more you have, the longer you live.
15 * You may be only one person in the
world, but you may also be the world to
one person.
16 * Some mistakes are too much fun to make
only once.
17 * 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.
18 * A truly happy person is one who can
enjoy the scenery on a detour.
19 * Have an awesome day and know that
someone has thought about you today.
