【推荐3】One day, a teacher went into her classroom with a glass of water. She wanted to teach her students how to deal with stress. First, she asked her students, "How heavy is this glass of water?"
They gave many different _______. Some students said it weighed 200 grams, ______ simply said they didn’t know. She smiled and replied, "Actually, the weight of the glass doesn’t matter. It depends on _______ I hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it's not a problem. If I hold it for an hour. I'll have an ache in my ________. If I hold it for a day, I'll have to call an ambulance (救护车). In each case, it’s the same weight, but the _______I hold it, the heavier it becomes.”
She _______, “That’s the way it is with stress. If we carry our burdens(负担) all the time, sooner or later, as they becomes increasing heavy, we won’t be able to carry on.”
"Just like ______ this glass of water, you have to lay your stress down for a while and rest before holding it again. When we’re refreshed, we can carry on with our burdens — holding them more _______ each time.”
As this teacher said, we shouldn't carry our burdens around all the time. _______ them today and pick them up tomorrow. No matter what burdens you're carrying now, put them down for a moment and get some_______. Your mind will thank you for it.
