The jar Life
When things in life than us, 24 hours a day when there
enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and coffee:
A professor of philosophy, without saying a word takes large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls.
Next, ask students if the jar was pieno.Gli students agree and say yes. So the professor picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar.
The pebbles into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar is full and they answer back yes. Then the professor picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand fills all the gaps, and He asked once more if the jar was full.
The students responded with a unanimous yes. The professor then produced two cups of coffee to the contents of the can and actually fill all the gaps between the
sand. The students laugh on this occasion. When the laughter subsided, the professor says, " I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life."
The golf balls are the important things like family, children, health, friends, love, the things we enjoy.
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 small stuff.
If first we put the sand into the jar, there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls for. 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 really matter. Pay attention to things that are critical to your happiness: Play with your children, take the time to go to 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 disposal.
Occupied golf balls first, the things that really matter. Set your priorities, the rest is just sand. "One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented.
The professor smiled and said:" I'm glad you ask this question is 'just to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, c' is always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a loved one. "
