Don't waste energy on little things...
When in your life too much, when 24 hours in a day is not enough — remember about a jar of mayonnaise... and coffee.
A Professor of philosophy stood before his hearers, a on the table were several items.
When the lecture began, he, without saying a word, took a very large and empty jar of mayonnaise and began to fill it with Golf balls.
He then asked students to fill in the Bank?They replied "Yes". Then the Professor picked up a box of pebbles and poured it into the jar. He shook the jar slightly. Pebbles scored the space between the balls.
He again asked the students whether the jar was full.
They confirmed that this is so. The Professor picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled all the voids.
And he again asked the students whether the jar was full. Students answered "Yes".
The Professor took two cups of coffee, which stood under the table and poured them into the jar, filling all the space between the sand.
The students laughed. "So," said the Professor, when everything calmed down."I want you to imagine that this jar is your life.
Golf balls are important things. It's your family, children, faith, health, friends and your favorite passions. Even if all else is lost, but there are these things your life would still be full.
Pebbles is a the other things that matter. Your job, house, car.
The sand is everything else. It's the little things. If you first fill the jar with sand, — he continued, — it has no space for pebbles and Golf balls.
The same thing happens in life. If you spend all your time and energy on trivia, you will never have room for the things that are really important to you.Pay attention to those things that are important to your happiness. Play with your children. Take care of your health. Invite your spouse in a restaurant. Go back to 18-year-old. You will always have time for house cleaning. Take care about the Golf balls, that's really important.Will set priorities. The rest is just sand".
One of the students raised his hand and asked the Professor a what does a coffee? The Professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked this question. It just shows that no matter how full your life, there is always place to drink a couple cups of coffee with a friend".published
