00:00How heavy is this glass of water? Melissa, would you care to answer?
00:04Um, 8 ounces.
00:0712 ounces.
00:1016 ounces.
00:13The absolute weight of the glass doesn't matter.
00:16It depends on how long I hold on to it.
00:19If I hold it for a minute, nothing happens.
00:21If I hold it for an hour, my arm will begin to ache.
00:24If I hold it all day long, my arm will feel numb and paralyzed.
00:29Well, the weight of the glass hasn't changed, but the longer I hold on to it, the heavier it becomes.
00:35The stresses and the worries of life are like this glass of water.
00:39If you think about them for a little while, there's no problem.
00:43Think about it for a little bit longer, it begins to hurt.
00:48Think about them all day long, and you'll feel paralyzed, incapable of doing anything.
00:54Always remember, put the glass.
