A lecturer, when explaining stress management to an audience,
raised a glass of water and asked,

“How heavy is this glass of water?”

Answers called out ranged from 20g to 500g.

The lecturer replied, “The absolute weight doesn’t matter.

It depends on how long you try to hold it.

“If I hold it for a minute, that’s not a problem.
If I hold it for an hour, I’ll have an ache in my right arm.
If I hold it for a day, you’ll have to call an ambulance.

“In each case, it’s the same weight, but the longer I hold it,

the heavier it becomes.”

He continued, “And that’s the way it is with stress management.

If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later,

as the burden becomes increasingly heavy, we won’t be able to carry on.

“As with the glass of water, you have to put it down for a while and

rest before holding it again.

When we’re refreshed, we can carry on with the burden. ”

“So, before you return home (or hostel) tonight,

put the burden of work down.

Don’t carry it home (i don’t want, but i have to..*huhu*).

You can pick it up tomorrow.

Whatever burdens you’re carrying now,

let them down for a moment if you can.

“Relax; pick them up later after you’ve rested”.

relax comic

smile Whatever it is, when u are stress, seek Allah’s guidance & help.

P/s: I post this story coz i’ve midterm exam tomorrow. A difficult one-

[Surah Al-Baqarah : Ayah 121]


“Therefore remember Me, I will remember you,

and be thankful to Me, and do not be ungrateful to Me.”
