  • When things in your life seem almost too much to handle!! ...s

    when 24 hours a day are not enough, remember the Mayonnaise Jar... and the
    Coffee...


    A professor stood before his philosophy class, and had some items In
    front of him. When the class began, wordlessly, he 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 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 this into
    the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else.

    He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a
    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
    recognise that this jar represents your life. The Golf Balls are the
    important things - your family, your children, your health, Your friends
    and your favourite passions - 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,and your car"


    The sand is everything else - the small things.


    "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 things, 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 Go to the doctor. Take your partner out to dinner. Play
    another 18."


    There will always be time to clean the house and mow the lawn.

    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 enquired 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."

      It is true that we have to care for the critical aspects of our life, rather than spendint time trying to cultivate noncritical or important issues.

      حبيبتي وش حالها قبل الرحيل .. أشوف أنا في عيونها دمعة وراء دمعة تسيل .. كلمتها .. طمنتها .. وعدتها أبقى لها ...
      راحت قبل ما أنهي الكـــلام .. راحت تخنقها عبرة في الزحـــام

          إذا الأبطال فرت خوف بأسي *** ترى الأقطار باعا أو ذراعا
