A GLASS OF WATER CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE
A teacher, holding a glass of water, asked a room full of students if they can tell how heavy the glass of water was.
Everyone shouted the answers ranging from eight ounces to a few pounds.
The teacher smiled at their effort and said “The weight of the glass doesn’t matter.
What matters is how long I hold it.
If I hold it for two-three minutes, it’s light.
If I hold it for twenty-thirty minutes, it might hurt my arm a little.
If I hold it for a day, my arm will be cramped and I will be forced to drop the glass.
In every case, the weight of the glass remains the same.
It’s the amount of time that makes the difference.
Similarly, the worries and stress in life is like the glass of water.
The longer you hold on to it, the heavier it feels.
There is no need holding the issues of this life too close to your heart because, they will never finish. Great great motivation.
I have just a couple issues with this post.
First of all, just because you gave credit for that image does not mean you are allowed to use it. You are expected to pay for that image in order to use it at all. That alone could open you up to legal troubles with the owner of that image.
Second of all, while you didn't exactly plagiarize this story, it would have been nice of you to add a reference link to where you got this from, considering it is not your own ideas... Here's something I found with a super quick google search of the first two lines of this post....
