A professor stood in front of the class of philosophy.When the class began, he took an empty jar and fill with golf balls.Then said to his disciples, is the jar was full ...... ?They agree!!Then he poured the pebbles into the jar, shake lightly.Coral stones fill a blank spot in between the golf balls.Then he asked his disciples, is the jar was full??They agree!Subsequently he was sowing the sand into the jar ...Of course, the sand covered it all.Professor once again asked is the jar was full ..??.The disciples said, "Yes "...!!Then he poured two cups of coffee into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand.The students laughed ...."Now .. I want you to understand that this jar represents your life.""The golf balls are the important things: God, family, children, health."If the others lost and only they, then your life is still full.""The stones pebbles are other things, like work, home and car.""The sand is the trivial things.""When you first put the sand into the jar, it will not be left room for the pebbles or stones for golf balls ..Same thing will happen in your life. ""If you spend the energy to things that are trivial, you will not have room for the things important to you.""So Pay attention to things that are important to your happiness."Play with your children.""Take time for health checkups.""Take your partner out to dinner""Give attention to the first golf balls .*The things that really matter. Set your priorities.The last new, take care of the sand."One student raised his hand and asked," Coffee represents what?Professor smiled, "I'm glad you asked.""It's to show you, though your life seems already very full, it is always available place for a cup of coffee with your friend".
Hope can inspire us to live this life ....
