Read this small story; Hope that makes a BIG change in YOU

.
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!’ …..’125 gms’ …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 student

.
“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?” Asked the professor.
‘No’…. Was the answer.
“Then what caused the arm ache & the muscle stress?”
.
The students were puzzled.
“What should I do now to come out of pain?” asked professor again.
“Put the glass down!” said one of the students
.
“Exactly!” said the professor.
Life’s problems are something like this.
.
Hold it for a few minutes in your head & they seem OK.
Think of them for a long time & they begin to ache.
.
Hold it even longer & they begin to paralyze you. You will not be able to do anything.
.
It’s important to think of the challenges or problems in your life, But EVEN MORE IMPORTANT is to ‘PUT THEM DOWN’ at the end of every day before you go to sleep…

.
That way, you are not stressed, you wake up every day fresh &strong & can handle any issue, any challenge that comes your way!

.

Moral

So, when you start your day today, Remember friend to ‘PUT THE GLASS DOWN TODAY! ‘

The story of a woodcutter

Once upon a time, a very strong woodcutter asked for a job in a timber merchant and he got it. The pay was really good and so was the work condition. For those reasons, the woodcutter was determined to do his best.

His boss gave him an axe and showed him the area where he supposed to work.

The first day, the woodcutter brought 18 trees.

“Congratulations,” the boss said. “Go on that way!”

Very motivated by the boss words, the woodcutter tried harder the next day, but he could only bring 15 trees. The third day he tried even harder, but he could only bring 10 trees. Day after day he was bringing less and less trees.

“I must be losing my strength”, the woodcutter thought. He went to the boss and apologized, saying that he could not understand what was going on.

“When was the last time you sharpened your axe?” the boss asked.

“Sharpen? I had no time to sharpen my axe. I have been very busy trying to cut trees…”

Reflection:

Our lives are like that. We sometimes get so busy that we don’t take time to sharpen the “axe”. In today’s world, it seems that everyone is busier than ever, but less happy that ever.

Why is that? Could it be that we have forgotten how to stay “sharp”? There’s nothing wrong with activity and hard work. But we should not get so busy that we neglect the truly important things in life, like our personal life, taking time to get close to our Creator, giving more time for our family, taking time to read etc.

We all need time to relax, to think and meditate, to learn and grow. If we don’t take the time to sharpen the “axe”, we will become dull and lose our effectiveness.

Acres of diamond

Acres of Diamond

There was a farmer in Africa who was happy
and content. He was happy because he was
content. He was content because he was
happy. One day a wise man came to him and
told him about the glory of diamonds and
the power that goes along with them. The
wise man said, "If you had a diamond the
size of your thumb, you could have your own
city. If you had a diamond the size of your
fist, you could probably own your own
country." And then he went away. That night
the farmer couldn't sleep. He was unhappy
and he was discontent. He was unhappy
because he was discontent and discontent
because he was unhappy. The next morning
he made arrangements to sell off his farm,
took care of his family and went in search of
diamonds. He looked all over Africa and
couldn't find any. He looked all through
Europe and couldn't find any. When he got to
Spain, he was emotionally, physically and
financially broke. He got so disheartened
that he threw himself into the Barcelona
River and committed suicide. Back home, the
person who had bought his farm was
watering the camels at a stream that ran
through the farm. Across the stream, the
rays of the morning sun hit a stone and
made it sparkle like a rainbow. He thought it
would look good on the mantle piece. He
picked up the stone and put it in the living
room. That afternoon the wise man came
and saw the stone sparkling. He asked, "Is
Hafiz back?" The new owner said, "No, why
do you ask?" The wise man said, "Because
that is a diamond. I recognize one when I see
one." The man said, no, that's just a stone I
picked up from the stream. Come, I'll show
you. There are many more." They went and
picked some samples and sent them for
analysis. Sure enough, the stones were
diamonds. They found that the farm was
indeed covered with acres and acres of
diamonds.
What is the moral of this story? There are five
morals:
1. When our attitude is right, we realize that we
are all walking on acres and acres of diamonds.
Opportunity is always under our feet. We don't
have to go anywhere. All we need to do is
recognize it.
2. The grass on the other side always looks
greener.
3. While we are dyeing the grass on the other
side, there are others who are dyeing the grass
on our side. They would be happy to trade
places with us.
4. When people don't know how to recognize
opportunity, they complain of noise when it
knocks.
5. The same opportunity never knocks twice. The
next one may be better or worse, but it is never
the same one.
