山石Stress management: how heavy is a glass of water?
While explaining stress management to an audience, the lecturer raised a glass of water and asked ‘How heavy is this glass of water?’ Answers called out ranged from 20g to 500g.
The lecturer replied, “The absolute(adj.绝对的) weight doesn’t matter. It depends on how long you try to hold it. If I hold it for a minute, that’s not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I’ll have an ache(n.疼痛) in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you’ll have to call an ambulance. In each case, it’s the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes.”
He continued, “And that’s the way it is with stress management. If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, as the burden becomes increasingly heavy, we won’t be able to carry on.”
“As with the glass of water, you have to put it down for a while and rest before holding it again. When we’re refreshed(v.精神振作), we can carry on with the burden.”
“So, before you return home tonight, put the burden of work down. Don’t carry it home. You can pick it up tomorrow. Whatever burdens you’re carrying now, let them down for a moment if you can.”
当演说者向听众解释压力管理时,他举起一杯水问:“这杯水有多重?“ 得到的回答从20克到500克不等。
演说者的答案却是:“实际的重量并不重要,重要的是你想举着这杯水多久。如果一分钟,没问题,但是如果要一个小时,那么我的右手臂肯定要酸掉。而如果要一天,那你们得帮我叫辆救护车了。水是同样的重量,我举着它的时间越长,它就越重。”
他继续说道:“压力管理也是同样的道理。如果我们一直背负着我们的负担,那么随着这些负担越来越重,我们迟早要崩溃。”
“对于那杯水,应对方法是把它放下休息一会再拿起来。当我们恢复精力,我们就能继续负重前行。”
“应此,当你今天晚上回到家后,将身上的工作担子放下别带回家,所有的事情明天再说。无论你现在承受着怎样的负担,先尽可能的忘记它们一会儿。” |
