Mrs Green took a glass of water to the classroom on Monday morning and asked her students, “How long can you carry this glass of water?”
The students thought it was very easy. They were excited and started to give different answers. Alice said she could carry it for twenty minutes. Sam said he could carry it for an hour. And Peter joked that he could carry it all day long. The teacher smiled and said, “It’s easier said than done. If I carry it for a few minutes, it’s not a problem. If I carry it for an hour, I may have a sore arm. If I carry it for the whole day, I may go to the hospital. Its weight doesn’t change. But the longer I carry it, the heavier it becomes.”
It’s like stress in our daily life. For example, we may feel stressful when facing some important matches. Relax and believe in yourself, and you are sure to find some ways to get over all the difficulties.
If you carry your stress all the time, it will become much heavier and you can’t move on finally. So what should we do to reduce the stress? __________________
