When I was sailing in the Merchant Navy our cranes had S.L.W. painted on them. What did S.L.W. stand for?
Safe loading weight of course!
Don't exceed the appointed load or you may tip over.
Each of us has our own SLW printed somewhere inside. That's our maximum mental, emotional or spiritual capacity.
Life will teach us what that capacity is and it would be wise not to exceed it. Don't be afraid to say 'NO' when friends, family or the boss want to dump problems and work on you and take you beyond your SLW.
You may finish up like this truck with your tires flat and your springs busted.
There's your thought for the day.
Ian
