A story of a glass
  
A lecturer was giving a lecture to his student on stress management. He raised a glass of water and asked the audience, “ How heavy do you think this glass of water is?” The students' answers ranged from 20g to 500gm. "It does not matter on the absolute weight. It depends on 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 have to call an ambulance. "It is the exact same weight,but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes." "If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, we will not be able to carry on, the burden becoming increasingly heavier. "What you have to do is to put the glass down, rest for a while before holding it up again. We have to put down the burden periodically, so that we can be refreshed 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 if you can. Pick it up again later when you have rested...Rest and relax. Life is short, enjoy it!!!

This story told me to free oneself from job which made me serious.  Sometime, I didn’t know that what I was doing and for whom ? But I must do it continually till I couldn’t. After I read a story of glass, I know that everything can bend leisurely that depend on a work’s condition and my power such as my boss assigns a work and must send it tomorrow but I have a lot of work for send today, I will deny and give my reason to her, it’s better than to receive a work but I can’t do it or may be send it late and I think that the other maybe can do that work. I think that I will do it work, I have to relax and don’t hold it for a long time so I have to put it down and rest for a while before holding it up again.
