The Boss began the meeting by holding up a jar with some sand in it. He held it up for all to see and asked the employees “How much do you think this jar weighs?
50gms? 100gms? 125 gms?" the employees answered. "I really don’t know unless I weigh it," said the professor. My question was: "What would happen if I held it up like this for a few minutes?" "Nothing." They replied. "Ok what would happen if I held it up like this for an hour?" The boss asked. "Your arm would begin to ache." Said one of the Employees. "Correct! Now what would happen if I held it for a day?" "Your arm could go numb and you might have severe muscle stress and you have to go to hospital for sure!" Replied another employee and all the employees laughed. "Very good. But during all this, did the weight of the jar change?" The boss asked.. "No!" They replied. "Then what caused the arm ache & the muscle stress?" The employees were puzzled. "What should I do now to come out of pain?" The boss asked. “Put the Jar down!” said one of the employees. "The Boss smiled and said: Life’s challenges are something like this." "Hold it for a few minutes in your head and they seem ok, think of them for a long time and they begin to ache." "Hold it even longer and they begin to paralyze you. You will not be able to do anything." "It is important to think of the challenges in your life, But even more important is to PUT THEM DOWN at the end of the day." "That way, you can handle any issue, any challenge that comes in your way. When you start your day today, Remember to PUT THE JAR DOWN!" |
