"The Mayonnaise jar & The Beer..." Things in life . >> >>When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 >>hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar......and >>the beer. >> >>A Professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in >>front of him. When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very >>large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf >>balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed >>that it was. So the Professor then picked up a box of pebbles and >>poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles >>rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked >>the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.The >>Professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. >>Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more >>if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous "Yes." >> >>The Professor then produced two cans of beer from under the table >>and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling >>the empty space between the sand. The students laughed. >> >>"Now", said the Professor, as the laughter subsided, "I want you to >>recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are >>the important things - your family, your children,your health, your >>friends, your favorite passions - things that 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, your car. The sand is everything else - the small >>stuff." >> >>"If you put the sand into the jar first", he continued, "there is >>no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. >>If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will >>never have room for the things that are important to you. Pay >>attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play >>with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your >>partner out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time >>to clean the house, and fix the disposal. Take care of the golf >>balls first, the things that really matter. Set your priorities. >>The rest is just sand." >> >>When he had finished, there was a profound silence. Then one of the >>students raised her hand and with a puzzled _expression, inquired >>what the beer represented. >> >>The Professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked. It just goes to show you >>that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for >>a couple of beers.
