While explaining stress management to an audience, the lecturer raised a glass of water and asked 'How heavy is this glass of water?' Answers called out ranged from 20g to 500g.
当向听众解释压力管理的时候，讲师拿起一杯水问道：这杯水有多重？20克到500克众说纷纭。
The lecturer replied, “The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long you try to hold it. If I hold it for a minute, that's not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you'll have to call an ambulance. In each case, it's the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes.”
讲师回答说：实际有多重并不重要，这要看我拿着它的时间。一分钟，没有问题。如果一个小时呢，我的右臂就会疼痛。再进一步，一天，你应该给我叫救护车了。当然每种情况下杯子的重量是相同的，但是我拿的越久，它就显得越沉。
He continued, “And that's the way it is with stress management. If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, as the burden becomes increasingly heavy, we won't be able to carry on.”
他继续说道：这就像压力管理，如果总是怀揣沉重的负担，随着压力越来越大，迟早我们会崩溃掉。
“As with the glass of water, you have to put it down for a while and rest before holding it again. When we're refreshed, we can carry on with the burden.”
正如这杯水一样，你需要放下它休息一下，调整自己，继续前行。
“So, before you return home tonight, put the burden of work down. Don't carry it home. You can pick it up tomorrow. Whatever burdens you're carrying now, let them down for a moment if you can.”
所以，今晚在各位回家之前，放下工作上的负担。不要把它带到家里去，你可以明天继续肩负。无论你背负怎样的负担，如果可能，暂时忘掉它们。
