A speaker was giving a speech to his student on what to do with stress(压力). He held up a glass of water and asked the students， “How heavy do you think this glass of water is?” The students’answers were different，from 20g to 500g.

“It does not matter on the exact weight. It depends on(取决于) 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 send me to the hospital. It is the same weight， but the longer I hold it， the heavier it becomes.”

“If we carry our burdens(负担) all the time， we will not be able to carry on， because the burden is becoming heavier and heavier. What you have to do is to put the glass down， have a rest for a while and hold it up again.”

We have to put down the burden sometimes， so that we can cheer up and 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 .

Life is short， enjoy it!
