Stress ... Smile
Stress
When explaining stress management to an audience, the lecturer raised a
glass of water and asked, "How heavy is this glass of water? "
Answers called out ranged from 20g to 500g. 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, 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. "
He continued, "And that's the way it is with stress management. 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. " "So, before you return home tonight, put the burden of work
down.
Don't carry it home. You can pick it up tomorrow, after you've rested."
"Life is short. Enjoy it!"
Then the lecturer shared some ways of dealing with the burdens of life:
Accept that some days you're the pigeon, and some days you're the statue.
Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them.
Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle
of it.
Drive carefully. 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.
If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably
worth it.
It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning
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.
The second mouse gets the cheese.
When everything's coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.
Birthdays are good for you. The more you have, the longer you live.
You may be only one person in the world, but you may also be the world to
one person.
We can 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.
A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.
Have an awesome day and know that someone has thought about you today. .
I did.
"Smile, it will increase your face value"
