The professor began his class by holding up a glass with some water in it.
He held it up for all to see; asked the students,' How much do you
think this glass weighs?'
'50gms!' .... '100gms!' ......'125gms' ......the students answered.
'I really don't know unless I weigh it,' said the professor,'but, my
question is: What would happen if I held it up like this for a few
minutes?'
'Nothing' the students said.

'Ok what would happen if I held it up like this for an hour? ' the
professor asked.
'Your arm would begin to ache' said one of the students.
'You're right, now what would happen if I held it for a day?'
'Your arm could go numb, you might have severe muscle stress;
paralysis;
Have to go to hospital for sure!'ventured another student; all the
students laughed.
'Very good. But during all this, did the weight of the glass change?

'No' the students said.
Then what caused the arm ache & the muscle stress?'
The students were puzzled.

Life's problems are something like this.
Hold them for a few minutes in your head; they seem OK.
Think of them for a long time & they begin to ache.
