Life.......


A philosophy professor stood before his class and had some items in
front of
him. When the class began, wordlessly he picked up a large empty
mayonnaise
jar and proceeded to fill it with rocks, rocks about 2" in diameter. 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, of course, rolled into the
open
areas between the rocks. He then asked the students again if the jar
was
full. They agreed it was.

The students laughed. The professor picked up a box of sand and poured
it
into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. "Now,"
said
the professor, "I want you to recognise that this is your life. The
rocks
are the important things - your family, your partner, your health, your
children - 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, there is no room for the
pebbles or
the rocks. The same goes for your 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 check
ups.
Take your partner out dancing. There will always be time to go to work,
clean the house, give a dinner party and fix the disposal." "Take care
of
the rocks first the things that really matter. Set your priorities.
The
rest is just sand."

But then...

A student then took the jar which the other students and the professor
agreed was full, and proceeded to pour in a glass of beer. Of course
the
beer filled the remaining spaces within the jar making the jar truly
full.

The moral of this tale is:

That no matter how full your life is, there is always room for BEER!!

 

It was good up til the beer part.
