Stress Management

A young lady confidently walked around the room while leading and explaining stress management to an audience with a raised glass of water.
Everyone knew she was going to ask the ultimate question, 'half empty or half full?'..  She fooled them all ....

"How heavy is this glass of water?" she inquired with a smile.  Answers called out ranged from 500gm - 1.5kg. She replied , "The absolute weight doesn't matter.

It depends on how long I 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." She continued, "and that's the way it is with stress.

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.." "

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 - holding stress longer and better each time practiced.

So, as early in the evening as you can, put all your burdens down.

Don't carry them through the evening and into the night.... Pick them up tomorrow.

01 * Accept the fact that some days you're the pigeon, and some days you're the statue!

02 * Drive carefully... It's not only cars that can be recalled by their Maker.

03 * If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.

04 * If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it..

05 * It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

06 * Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time, because then you won't have a leg to stand on.

07 * Since it's the early worm that gets eaten by the bird, sleep late.

08 * When everything's coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.

09 * A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY

10 *Save the earth..... It's the only planet with chocolate! (that we know of...)

Reasons

Here are the top 10 strangest given for wanting to work in a foreign country, courtesy of Global Visas, a British immigration consultancy.

1. A South African man stated on his visa application that he wanted to go to Romania to work as a vampire hunter. (Good choice: The historic region of Transylvania, home of Count Dracula, is in Romania.) [Famous Fangs: 9 Tales of Our Favorite Vampires]

2. When applying for a British visa, a Brazilian man stated he hoped to bring "flamenco to the streets of Norwich," where the zesty allure of flamenco is apparently a rare commodity.

3. A Russian woman applied for a European visa to work as a prostitute in the Netherlands, where the world's oldest profession has been legal since 1830.

4. An embalmer from Mexico applied for a visa to bring his grim trade to Spain, but after his lengthy criminal record was dug up, the visa was denied.

5. On his European visa application, a man from Mali stated he was skilled with a pi-rogue (a type of fishing boat, as well as a kind of savory pie). Naturally, his career aspiration was to be a gondolier in Venice.

6. On his U.S. visa application, a British man listed his profession as "dog food taster."

7. A man in the Philippines applied for a travel visa to Australia, because he was "evading the local authorities."

8. A woman from France was hoping to move to the United States to pursue greater opportunities in her chosen profession as a "foot model."

9. A woman applied for a visa to work in the United Kingdom, where she reportedly had "seasonal work as a zombie." (Apparently, zombies aren't needed in the U.K. year-round.)

10. A man from Peru applied for a European visa to work as an "alpaca shearer" during "shearing season."

An older gentleman was on the operating table
awaiting surgery and he insisted that his son, a renowned surgeon, perform the operation.

As he was about to get the anesthesia, he asked to speak to his son.

"Yes, Dad , what is it?"

"Don't be nervous, son; do your best, and just remember, if it doesn't go well, if something happens to me, your mother is going to come and live with you and your wife....."

Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me!

I want people to know why I look this way.

I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved.

A distraught senior citizen phoned her doctor's office.

"Is it true," she wanted to know, "that the medication you prescribed has to be taken for the rest of my life?"

"'Yes, I'm afraid so,"' the doctor told her.

There was a moment of silence before the senior lady replied, "I'm wondering, then, just how serious is my condition because this prescription is marked
'NO REFILLS'.."
