The students answered ranging from 200 grams to 500 grams.
"It's not a matter of absolute weight, but depending on how long you hold it." Covey said.
"If I hold it for 1 minute, no problem. If I hold it for 1 hour, my right arm would hurt. And if I hold it for 1 whole day, maybe you need to call an ambulance for me. It weighs exactly the same, but the longer I hold it, then the burden will be heavier."
"If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later we will not be able to carry on. The burden becoming increasingly heavier." Covey continued.
"What we should do is put the glass, resting a moment before lifting again."
We have to leave the burden periodically, so that we can be refreshed and able to carry on. So before you return home from work this afternoon, leave the work load. Do not take to your home. Expenses that can be taken again tomorrow. Whatever burden is on your shoulders today, trying to leave for a moment if you can.
