A lecturer came to his class and surprised his students by bringing a Cup of Coffee.
He held it up for all to see & asked the students “What do you think is the weight of this Cup?”
’50gms!’ …. ‘100gms!’ …..’125gms’ the students answered.
‘Nothing’ …..the students said.
‘Ok what would happen if I held it up like this for an hour?’ the lecturer asked.
“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 Cup change?” asked the lecturer.
‘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 the lecturer again.
“Put the cup down!” said one of the students
“Exactly!” said the lecturer.
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.
Moral: Everyday we face so many problems in life that if we hold each and everyone of them, our life will be paralyzed. Its important to think about the solutions to the problems but also important to keep it down before we sleep so that we can start fresh the next day.
I think I’ll go make some coffee!
Make one for me too 🙂
May Allah solve problems of all of us and guide us on the right path…aamin
Aamin
wow!
every morning comes with a new hope . I am impressed by your writing .
good content , i am really inspired after reading this article.
its the lack of movement of the arm muscles that cause poor blood circulation and eventually cause injury to the muscles, making it begin to ache.
yeah, so when you leave your office today, dnt forget to ‘put the glass down’ …
i did not get that!
despite the small weight of the cup it can parallyze the man
impressive… one should always relieve himself/herself from revenge, hatred, anger, and envy and replace them with peace, love. forgiveness, and tolerance. Only then he/she lives in happiness and peace.
Rightly said Eloseryi!!
i love this moral story and read it before, but, there is a little mix up. The story start with cup of coffee and end with glass of water. Actual story was with glass water.
amaaaaaaaaaaaaaazing way to teach a lesson of life.

if you think if it this happens to your brain during working or school. keep studyng for 6 hours in school and come home and continue your brain wll drain itself and won’t be able to think.
