今天因為玫瑰的刺，我可以嗚咽哭泣；但有刺的莖上有玫瑰花，所以我又可以歡心慶賀。
今天因為自己缺少朋友，我可以哀傷悲痛；但我能去發掘新的感情，所以我又興奮不已。
今天因為必須上班，我可以抱怨哭訴；但起碼我還有工作可以去做，所以我可以高聲歡呼。
今天因為必須做家務，我唉聲歎氣；但這是上帝賜予我的避風港，我又倍感榮耀。
今天伸展在我的麵前，等著我去塑造，而我正是它的雕刻師，來賦予它某種形狀。
今天是什麽樣，完全由我決定，今天怎樣度過，由我來選擇！
你的玻璃杯重嗎
Put the Glass Down
佚名 / Anonymous
A lecturer was giving a lecture to his students on stress management. He raised a glass of water and asked the audience1， "How heavy do you think this glass of water is？"
The students' answers ranged from 20g to 500g.
"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 ambulance2. 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 periodically3， so that we can be refreshed4 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.
Life is short， enjoy it！！
