    The Mayonnaise Jar and two cups of coffee

     

    The Mayonnaise Jar and 2 Cups of Coffee
     
    When things in yourlife seem almost too much to handle;
    when 24 hours in a day are not enough;
    remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2 cups of coffee... 

       


    A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in  front of him.


     
    When the class began,
    he wordlessly 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.
     
    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 an unanimous "yes."
     
    The professor then produced two cups of coffee 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 and your favorite passions---
    and 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 and 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  spouse 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."
     
    One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee 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 cups of coffee with a friend ."
    Please share this with someone you care about.
     
     
    i just did.
    :-)

     

    Received this meaningful email from one of my friends, so decided to share it here =)

    Rain, rain, rain

    It has been raining for past two weeks. Does that mean that we can use water more freely then?hehe
     
    Two weeks more to school reopening, time really flies. I guess i did nothing much during the past one month of holidays, except abit of studying. If there is a competition of wasting time, i am quite sure i can get into top 10.
     
    To those who start their new school life, all the best and take care. To those who gona start their holidays soon, happy holidays =)
     
    To myself, happy always
