JOKE OF THE DAY 22 Jun 2007

The Deeper Message

A philosophy professor stood before her class and had some items in
front of her. When the class began, silently she picked up a large
empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with rocks. She 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. She shook the jar lightly. The pebbles, of course, rolled
into the open areas between the rocks. She then asked the students
again if the jar was full. They again 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. Now, said the professor,
I want you to recognize 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 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 the tale: No matter how full your life is, there is
always room for BEER!
