Students in an advanced Biology class were taking their mid-term exam. The last question was, "Name seven advantages of Mother's Milk."
One of the students thought quickly of six answers and wrote:
1) It is the perfect formula for a child.
2) It provides immunity against a number of diseases.
3) It is always the right temperature.
4) It is inexpensive.
5) It encourages the child and mother to bond.
6) It is readily available.
But then he was stuck. In desperation, he finally wrote:
7) It comes in two attractive containers, and it's high enough off the ground where the cat can't get to it.
He got an A !!!!!

A psychologist walked around a room while teaching stress management to an audience. As she raised a glass of water, everyone expected they’d be asked the “half empty or half full” question. Instead, with a smile on her face, she inquired: “How heavy is this glass of water?”
Answers called out ranged from 8 oz. to 20 oz.
She replied, “The absolute weight doesn’t matter. It depends on how long I hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it’s not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I’ll have an ache in my arm. If I hold it for a day, my arm will feel numb and paralyzed. In each case, the weight of the glass doesn't change, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes.”
She continued, “The stresses and worries in life are like that glass of water. Think about them for a while and nothing happens. Think about them a bit longer and they begin to hurt. And if you think about them all day long, you will feel paralyzed – incapable of doing anything.”
Remember to put the glass down.
