Attitude

A holy man was having a conversation with the Lord one day and said, "Lord, I would like to know what Heaven and Hell are like.”
The Lord led the holy man to two doors.
 
He opened one of the doors and the holy man looked in. In the middle of the room was a large round table. In the middle of the table was a large pot of stew which smelled delicious and made the holy man's mouth water.
 
The people sitting around the table were thin and sickly. They appeared to be famished. They were holding spoons with very long handles and each found it possible to reach into the pot of stew and take a spoonful, but because the handle was longer than their arms, they could not get the spoons back into their mouths. The holy man shuddered at the sight of their misery and suffering.
 
The Lord said, "You have seen Hell."
 
They went to the next room and opened the door. It was exactly the same as the first one. There was the large round table with the large pot of stew which made the holy man's mouth water. The people were equipped with the same long-handled spoons, but here the people were well nourished and plump, laughing and talking.
The holy man said, "I don't understand"." 

It is simple said the Lord, "it requires only one skill. You see, they have learned to feed each other. While the greedy think only of them."
 
MORAL:
Its people's attitude that makes our life or even place of work, a hell or heaven to them. ’Help and Seek Help' this makes all the difference to each individual's life and makes our lives hell or otherwise

Hope that makes a BIG change in YOU

The 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!’ …..’125 gms’ …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 student
“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’ Was the answer. “Then what caused the arm ache & the muscle stress?”
The students were puzzled. “What should I do now to come out of pain?” asked professor again. “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 or problems in your life,  But EVEN MORE IMPORTANT is 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!
 
 
 
Moral:  So, when you start your day today, Remember always to ‘PUT THE GLASS DOWN TODAY! ‘
