When you seem to have too much to handle in life, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and two glasses of wine ...
A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front. When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a large empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full and they risposeroche was.
The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly and the pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. Asked again to studentise the jar was full and they agreed it was.
The professor 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 and the students responded with an unanimous 'yes'.
The professor then produced two glasses of wine from under the cattedrae added the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty spaces nella sabbia. Gli studenti risero.
' Ora ', disse il professore non appena la risata si fu placata, voglio che consideriate questo barattolo come la vostra Vita. Le palle da golf sono le cose importanti: la vostra famiglia, i vostri bambini, la vostra salute, i vostri amici e le vostre Passioni; le coseper cui, se anche tutto il resto andasse perduto e solo queste rimanessero, la vostra vita continuerebbe ad essere piena. I sassolini sono le altre cose che hanno importanza, come il vostro lavoro, la casa, la macchina... La sabbia è tutto il resto: le piccole cose. Se voi mettete nel barattolo la sabbia per prima, non ci sarà spazio perla ghiaia e nemmeno per le palle da golf. Lo stesso vale per la vita: se spendete tutto il vostro your time and energy on the small things, will never have room for things that are important to you.
Pay attention to things that are critical to your happiness: Play with your children, enjoy family and parents as long as there are, bring your partner out to dinner ... And not only on important occasions! Attend to what love and passion, so 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 wine represented.
The professor smiled: 'I am Glad you asked. Need soloper show you that no matter how full your life may seem: there's always room for a couple of glasses of wine with a friend?
