A teacher was giving a speech to his students. He held up a glass of water and asked the class, "How heavy do you think this glass of water is?" 

The students' answers were different, from 20 g to 500 g. "It does not matter on the weight itself. It depends on how long you hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it is OK. If I hold it for an hour, I will have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you will have to call an ambulance (救護車). It is exactly the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes."

If we carry our burdens (負擔) all the time, sooner or later, we will not be able to carry on, the burden becoming increasingly heavier.

"What you have to do is to put the glass down, rest for a while before holding it up again."  We have to put down the burden sometimes, so that we can be refreshed and are able to carry on. 

So before you return home from work tonight, put the burden of work down. Don't carry it back home. You can pick it up tomorrow.

Whatever burdens you are having now on your shoulders, let it down for a moment if you can.

“Excuse me! Could you tell me what is the most important day in our lives? Is it the day were born or the day we die? Is it the day we fall in love or the day we are successful?” A young man asked a wise man in the mountain. He wanted to ask for wisdom (智慧) of life.

“None. The most important day in our lives is today.” the wise man replied calmly.

“Why?” the young man was very surprised. “Is it because there is some unusual event taking place today?”

“No. Nothing has happened today.”

“So is it because of my visit?”

“Even if nobody visited me today, today is still very important, because today is the only wealth(財富) we have. No matter how important yesterday is, it has gone by; （73） no matter how wonderful tomorrow may be, it hasn't come; no matter how ordinary and boring today is, it is in our hands.”

The young man still wanted to ask something, but the wise man stopped him and said, “When we are talking about the importance of today, we have wasted a lot of it. That is to say, part of ‘today’ has passed.”

Having understood this, the young man nodded and then went down the mountain.（74） Actually today is the only wealth and chance we have. Therefore, what we should do now is to forget yesterday and tomorrow and catch hold of today!
