A teacher before his philosophy class without a word took a large empty jar of mayonnaise and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. Then ask your students if the jar was full. Students agreed that if. So the professor took a box of pebbles and poured it into the mayonnaise jar. The marbles into the open areas between the golf balls.
The teacher again asked the students if the jar was full and they again say yes. Then the teacher took a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled all the empty spaces and the teacher asked again if the jar was full. On this occasion the students responded with “yes” unanimously.
The professor then add 2 cups of coffee actually contents of the bottle and filled all the empty spaces between the sand. The students laughed at this time. When the laughter died down, the professor said: “I want you to realize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things, like God, family, children, health, friends, things that you are passionate. These are things that even if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.
The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house, car, etc.. The sand is everything else, the little things. “” If you put the sand into the jar first, there would be room for the pebbles or the golf balls.
The same goes for life. If we spend all our time and energy on the small things we will never have room for the really important things.
Pay attention to things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children, take time to attend the doctor, go to dinner with your partner, practice your favorite sport or hobby. There will always be time to clean house and fix the faucet. Take care of the golf balls first, the things that really matter. Set your priorities, the rest is just sand. “One student raised his hand and wonder what the coffee represented. The professor smiled and said,” How good you asked. Just goes to show that no matter how full your life may seem, there is always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend. “
