The Professor's Mails.... 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
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!
So, When you leave office today,
Remember to.....

* 'PUT THE GLASS DOWN TODAY!' *

Let Go off the penny dear...

The following is a very meaningful story which is called "Let Go", and written by Dr. Billy Graham.

A little child was playing one day with a very valuable vase. He put his hand into it and could not withdraw it. His father too, tried his best, but all in vain. They were thinking of breaking the vase when the father said, "Now, my son, make one more try. Open your hand and hold your fingers out straight as you see me doing, and then pull."

To their astonishment the little fellow said, "O no, father. I couldn't put my fingers out like that, because if I did I would drop my penny."

Smile, if you will--but thousands of us are like that little boy, so busy holding on to the world's worthless penny that we cannot accept liberation. I beg you to drop the trifle in your heart. Surrender! Let go, and let God have His way in your life.

A Reality Check from Bill Gates

Bill Gates recently gave a speech at a High School about 11 things they
did not and will not learn in school. He talks about how feel-good,
politically correct teachings created a generation of kids with no
concept of reality and how this concept set them up for failure in the
real world.

Read this to your kids:

Rule 1 : Life is not fair - get used to it!

Rule 2 : The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will
               expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.

Rule 3 : You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You
               won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.

Rule 4 : If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.

Rule 5 : Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your
              Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping: they called it
              opportunity.

Rule 6 : If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine
              about your mistakes, learn from them.

Rule 7 : Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they
              are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your
              clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were.
              So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent's
              generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.

Rule 8 : Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but
               life HAS NOT. In some schools, they have abolished failing grades and
               they'll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer.
               This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.

Rule 9 : Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off
              and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF.
               Do that on your own time.

Rule 10: Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have
                to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.

Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.

when you know what you are but not what you will become.

9. You are free . . . .
when you are in control of yourself and do not wish to control others.

10. You are honorable . . . .
when you find your honor is to honor others.

11. You are generous . . . .
when you can take as sweetly as you can give.

13. You are thoughtful . . . .
when you see me just as I am and treat me just as you are.

14. You are merciful . . . .
when you forgive in others the faults you condemn in yourself.

15. You are beautiful . . . .
when you don't need a mirror to tell you.

16. You are rich . . . .
when you never need more than what you have.

17. You are you . . . .
when you are at peace with who you are not.
And at peace with who you really are.

-: Its called MINDSET :-

As I was passing the elephants, I suddenly stopped,
confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. No chains, no cages.

It was obvious that the elephants could, at anytime, break away from the ropes they were tied to but for some reason, they did not.

I saw a trainer near by and asked why these beautiful, magnificent animals just stood there and made no attempt to get away.

"Well," he said, "when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, it's enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can still hold them, so they never try to break free."

I was amazed. These animals could at any time break free from their bonds but because they believed they couldn't, they were stuck right where they were.

Like the elephants, how many of us go through life hanging onto a belief that we cannot do something, simply because we failed at it once before?
