A lecturer was giving a lecture to his students on stress management. He raised a glass of water and asked the audience, “How heavy do you think this glass of water is?” The students' answers ranged from 20g to 500g. It doesn't matter on the absolute {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (weigh). It depends on how long you hold {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. If I hold it for a minute, it is OK. If I hold it for an hour, I'll have {#blank#}3{#/blank#} ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you will have to call an ambulance. It's the exact same weight, but the {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (long) I hold it, the heavier it becomes. If we carry our burdens {#blank#}5{#/blank#} the time, sooner or later, we won't be able to carry on, the burden {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (become) increasingly heavier. What you've to do is to put the glass down, rest for a while before holding it up again. We have to put down the burden periodically, so that we can {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (refresh) and are able to carry on.

    {#blank#}8{#/blank#} you return home from work tonight, put the burden of work {#blank#}9{#/blank#}. Don't carry it back home. You can pick it up tomorrow. Whatever burdens you're having now on your shoulders, let it down {#blank#}10{#/blank#} a moment if you can. Life is short, enjoy it!

    I don't very often have a full day off work. Today I did. I had a leisurely morning, going to the gym, {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(walk) the dog, feeding my friend's cat, and thought I would hurry into the office at Job number 2, to fill in my time sheet so I would {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (pay) for the hours I have worked. I was thinking that I had worked less hours because the lady I share job with was working instead {#blank#}3{#/blank#} me. I prayed then, that somehow we would have {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (much) money coming in this month and imagined money coming in to my bank account.

    I arrived at the office to see the main secretary looking very pale. She asked what my afternoon {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (plan) were, when I said I had the afternoon free she asked me {#blank#}6{#/blank#} I could work for her, as she had really hurt her back. I was really looking forward to a day off, but she looked in such pain that I said yes straight away. She did a quick handover of what{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(be) urgent and needed to be done.

    I raced home and got {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(change) into work appropriate clothes and took over. Our boss phoned and thanked me for steeping in so that everything went {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(smooth). Thee unwell person went home, and I got four hours extra pay. It's amazing how {#blank#}10{#/blank#}universe works.
