PUT THE GLASS DOWN TODAY!

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 said.

'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 students.
'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;
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' the students said.

Then what caused the arm ache & the muscle stress?'
The students were puzzled.

'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; they seem OK.

Think of them for a long time & they begin to ache. Hold it even longer &
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 & strong & can
handle any issue, any challenge that comes your way!'
Remember to 'PUT THE GLASS DOWN TODAY!'

Salty Coffee

He met her on a party. She was so outstanding, many guys chasing after her, while he so normal, nobody paid attention to him. At the end of the party, he invited her to have coffee with him, she was surprised, but due to being polite, she promised. They sat in a nice coffee shop, he was too nervous to say anything, she felt uncomfortable, she thought, please, let me go home.... suddenly he asked the waiter. "would you please give me some salt? I'd like to put it in my coffee." Everybody stared at him, so strange! His face turned red, but still, he put the salt in his coffee and drank it. She asked him curiously; why you have this hobby? He replied: "when I was a little boy, I was living near the sea, I like playing in the sea, I could feel the taste of the sea, just like the taste of the salty coffee. Now every time I have the salty coffee, I always think of my childhood, think of my hometown, I miss my hometown so much, I miss my parents who are still living ther...

The Unlikely Friendship

In a quiet village nestled between rolling hills and babbling brooks, there lived a little cat named Moonbeam. Moonbeam had a coat as black as the midnight sky, but her eyes sparkled like the brightest stars. One starry night, while Moonbeam prowled through the alleys, she discovered a tiny creature with wings caught in a thicket.   The creature turned out to be Twinkle, a baby bat who had lost her way. Moonbeam, instead of pouncing, gently approached Twinkle and used her nimble paws to free the tiny bat. Twinkle, grateful and unafraid, looked at Moonbeam with eyes that held the wonder of the night sky.   From that night on, Moonbeam and Twinkle became the best of friends. Moonbeam would explore the rooftops, and Twinkle would soar alongside, leaving trails of stardust. Together, they discovered secret hideaways and shared stories under the moonlight.   Their friendship spread joy throughout the village, and soon the townsfolk eagerly awaited the nightly ad...

The Little Gardener's Surprise

Once upon a time in a small town, there lived a little girl named Lily who had a magical garden. Lily loved spending her afternoons tending to her flowers, talking to the butterflies, and singing to the plants. One sunny day, as Lily watered her tulips, she noticed a tiny door nestled among the stems.  To her surprise, it swung open, revealing a world of miniature creatures living in harmony with her garden. There were ladybugs in polka-dot houses, fairies weaving dewdrop dresses, and even a wise old snail reading poetry to a cluster of mushrooms.   Lily was overjoyed to discover these magical friends and decided to organize a tiny garden party. She crafted daisy hats for the fairies and set up a banquet of sweet nectar for the butterflies. The ladybugs brought their musical instruments, and the snail recited his favorite poems.   As the sun dipped below the horizon, turning the sky into a canvas of warm hues, Lily and her newfound friends danced under the twin...
