A lecturer was giving a lecture to his students on stress management. He raised a glass of water and asked the audience, “How heavy do you think this glass of water is ”
All of the students tried to answer the question, and their answers ranged from 20g to 500g.
“It does not matter on the absolute weight. It depends 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, you will have to call an ambulance. It is exactly the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes.”
“If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, we will not be able to carry on, because the burden is becoming increasingly heavier.”
“What you have to do is put the glass down, rest for a while before holding it again.” We have to put down the burden periodically (有周期地), so that we can be refreshed and are able to carry on. Otherwise I think that we will break down on the half way and can’t realize our dreams as we planned. All of us should really keep this in mind.
Before you return home from work tonight, put the burden of work down. Don’t carry it back home. You can pick it up tomorrow.
Whatever burden you are having now on your shoulders, let it down for a moment if you can. If you do like this, you can greatly improve your work efficiency (效率) and life quality.
Life is short; let’s enjoy it to the fullest.

As is known in the picture, we plant trees and we will enjoy the shade ourselves as well as our grandchildren.
Everybody knows nature is to us what water is to fish. Yet we don’t always realize it until it is too late. With the development of modern technology, there are more and more people on the earth and fewer and fewer resources left. What’s worse, pollution is getting more and more serious and the climate is being warmer and warmer. Therefore we should try to build a harmonious relationship between man and nature. On the one hand, in our daily life we can recycle water and turn off lights when necessary; while on the other hand, we can choose to use public transport rather than use private cars to reduce carbon emission. Speaking of protection, we had better choose energy-saving goods and eat less processed food. Undoubtedly, there are still more for us to do to make a positive difference.
To protect nature means to protect ourselves and our younger generations. Let’s do it now!
