压力就像一杯水,拿得越久,它就越重


        Once upon a time a psychology professor walked around on a stage while teaching stress management principles to an auditorium filled with students.曾经,有一位心理学教授在讲台上来回走着,向满席的学生传授压力管理原则。
        As she raised a glass of water, with a smile on her face, the professor asked, “How heavy is this glass of water I’m holding?”当她举起一杯水,笑着问:“我举着的这杯水有多重?”
        Students shouted out answers ranging from eight ounces to a couple pounds.从八盎司到几磅,学生们大声地喊出答案。
        She replied, “From my perspective, the absolute weight of this glass doesn’t matter.In each case, the weight of the glass doesn’t change, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it feels to me.”她回答道:“在我看来,这杯水的绝对重量不重要。在各种情况里,这杯水的重量都没变,但是我举得越久,我就觉得越重。”
        As the class shook their heads in agreement, she continued, “Your stresses and worries in life are very much like this glass of water.”当全班晃头表示同意时,她继续说道:“你们在生活中的压力和担忧就非常像这杯水。”
        It’s important to remember to let go of your stresses and worries.No matter what happens during the day, as early in the evening as you can, put all your burdens down.记得放开你的压力和担忧是非常重要的。不管那天发生了什么,到了傍晚,你应该尽快放下你所有的重担。
        If you still feel the weight of yesterday’s stress, it’s a strong sign that it’s time to put the glass down.如果你仍能感觉到昨天压力的重量,这是一记重要的指示,告诉你是时候把杯子放下了。
