When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2 glasses of wine...
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 that 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 it 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 glasses of wine 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 recognize that this jar represents your life.
The golf balls are the important things; your family, your children, your health, your friends, and your favorite 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 stuff.
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 Stuff.
Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness.
Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your partner out to dinner. Play another 18 holes. 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'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 glasses of wine with a friend.'
Please share this with friends . I JUST DID!
Estar no papel daquelas pais e pensar que são capazes de criar 2 filhos ainda jovens, nos dias de hoje com a mesma paixão por dar e ajudar o próximo que eles nutrem, deve ser algo que os enche de orgulho.
Antes de sair do trabalho tinham-me dito que o Queen Elizabeth era um teatro excelente com uma acústica fantástica. À chegada quando nos dirigimos aos nossos lugares eu estava mais do que satisfeita com a localização em relação ao palco.
Quanto ao vídeo eu tentei calar a louca que estava aos gritos mas a emoção apoderou-se dela :p
Tenho uma foto em que não devia ter mais de 2 anos em que não larguei o Ernie nem para a posse!
Vocês sim para mim foram "bonecos" a sério.
Já esperava por este regresso à muito tempo e estou super super super em pulgas.
