A 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
answered. '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 and 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'
'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 and they seem OK. Think of them for a long time and they begin
to ache. Hold it even longer and they Begin to paralyze you. You will not be
able to do anything. It's important to think
of the challenges (problems) in your life, but EVEN MORE IMPORTANT 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 and strong, able to handle any
issue, any challenge that comes your way!' So, When you leave
office today, remember to 'PUT THE GLASS DOWN TODAY! (Contribution by Recommended Book
25 WAYS TO WIN WITH PEOPLE HOW TO MAKE OTHERS
FEEL LIKE A MILLION BUCKS John C. Maxwell and Les Parrott, PhD (ISBN-13: 978-0-7852-7954-9) Some people possess an invisible
quality that draws others to them like a magnet. They’re more than just
likable. Their charisma defines everything they do and every encounter they
have. Accordingly they build better teams, win more respect, and achieve
bigger results. Are the merely lucky in life, blessed with personality traits
that spell success without effort? Not on your life! This alluring and in visible trait
is not inherited as much as it is honed. It’s a captivating spirit that can
be taught and caught. For too long people haven’t tried to cultivate these
qualities because of the false impression that you either have “it” or you
don’t. This book will help change that misinformed notion. For here you will
find twenty-five of the most compelling keys to unlocking a charismatic spirit
– a spirit that will help you win with almost everyone you encounter. “The twenty-five secrets we
include in this book have the potential to change your life. They can help
you to become the kind of person who lights up the room when you arrive.
These skills are readily learnable. They are not for a lucky few who seem to
be hardwired with exclusive qualities. They are within reach of anyone who
wants them. And they are crucial for anyone wanting to win with people.” Trauma
