今天因为玫瑰的刺，我可以呜咽哭泣；但有刺的茎上有玫瑰花，所以我又可以欢心庆贺。
今天因为自己缺少朋友，我可以哀伤悲痛；但我能去发掘新的感情，所以我又兴奋不已。
今天因为必须上班，我可以抱怨哭诉；但起码我还有工作可以去做，所以我可以高声欢呼。
今天因为必须做家务，我唉声叹气；但这是上帝赐予我的避风港，我又倍感荣耀。
今天伸展在我的面前，等着我去塑造，而我正是它的雕刻师，来赋予它某种形状。
今天是什么样，完全由我决定，今天怎样度过，由我来选择！
你的玻璃杯重吗
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！！
