In each case, the 5 of the glass of water doesn’t change, but the 6 I hold it, the heavier it becomes. Why? ”
Lost in 7 , all the students kept silent and listened to the professor carefully.

As she raised a glass of water, everyone in the class 1 they would be asked the “half-empty or half-full” question. 2 , with a smile on her face, she asked the students, “How much do you think this glass of water weighs? ” Answers called out ranged from 100ml to 300ml.
She quieted the students down and then replied, “It does not 3 on the absolute weight. It 4 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, my right arm will feel numb. In each case, the 5 of the glass of water doesn’t change, but the 6 I hold it, the heavier it becomes. Why? ”
Lost in 7 , all the students kept silent and listened to the professor carefully.
“Our stresses and 8 in life are like that glass of water.

And the moment you 14 your burdens, you’ll find yourself feeling so much more relaxed.
So rather than being upset and feeling sorry for yourself, start doing something about it. 15 , life is too short to abandon yourself to anything that is not making you happy.
