It is easy to hold a glass of water for a few seconds..

If we gave ourselves 2 minute breaks and then held it for 2 minutes again(in the same position), it would not be too hard to do so about 10-15 times..

But imagine holding it continuously for 30 minutes..

Which means.. that its the same in life – its easy to take ups and downs in intervals.. what is tough is to take a sustained period of stress..

And thats what they say makes gold and other metals of value.. sustained heat or forcefulness..
