He sat at the same street corner and begged for almost 20 years. His house was filthy (肮脏的), and a stench came out of the house and it smelled 24 . The neighbors could not 25 the smell anymore, so they summoned the police officers to 26 the place. The officers 27 down the door and cleaned the house. There were small bags of 28 all over the house that he had 29 over the years. The police counted the money, and they soon realized that the old man was a 30 . They waited outside his house in anticipation (预料) to 31 the good news with him. When he arrived home that evening, he was met by one of the officers who told him that there was no 32 for him to beg any more as he was a rich man now, a millionaire.
He said 33 at all; he went into his house and locked the door. The next morning he woke up as usual, went to the street and continued to beg. 34 , this old man had no great plans, dreams or anything 35 for his life. We learn nothing from this story other than staying 36 the things we enjoy doing, commitment.

In a hall, a lecturer was giving a lecture to his students on stress management. At the beginning of the speech,he 41 a glass of water and asked the audience, “How 42 do you think this glass of water is?”
The students’ answers 43 from 20g to 500g.
“Actually,it does not matter on the absolute 44 . But it depends on how 45 you hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it is OK. If I hold it for a(n) 46 , I will have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you will have to 47 an ambulance. It is exactly the 48 weight, but the longer I hold it, the 49 it becomes.” Hearing these words,the whole audience became silent, lost in thought.

“So, what you have to do is to 53 the glass, rest for a while 54 holding it up again.”
As is shown in the story above, we have to put down the burden periodically, 55 we can be refreshed and are able to carry on.
So before you 56 home from work tonight, put the burden of 57 down. Don’t carry it back 58 . You can pick it up tomorrow.
Whatever burden you are having now on your 59 , let it down for a moment if you can.
