This short story is called The Weight Of The Glass. In this story a psychology professor talks to people about stress. She tells them that the more you hold on to worries the worse they get. She tells them this using a simile. She explains this using a cup. She shows them that the weight of the cup is quite light but the longer she holds it the heavier it gets even though the actual weight stays the same. I find this very true. Lots of people can make a big deal out of things even when they are very small. Sometimes people need to just relax and take a moment. I found that the way the the professor explained the story was every interesting. I chose this story because I wanted an story with a meaning and moral.
A quote that I find matches this story very well is: A pessimist is one who makes difficulties of is opportunities and an oppermist is one who makes opportunities of his difficulties. This quote in my opinion shows that people can make things difficult that are actually good things.
Another quote about this passage is one that many may have heard about. Some people see the glass half empty, some people see the the glass half full and some are just grateful to see a glass.In my opinion this quote tells about how depending if someone is more wealthy than another the they see things differently.
