A professor before his philosophy class without saying a word, takes 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. Students agree and that it was.
The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. The pebbles into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full and they respond back to you.
The professor picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand fills all the gaps, and He asked once more if the jar was full. Also this time the students responded with a unanimous.
The professor quickly added two cups of coffee to the contents of the can and effectively filling the empty space between the sand. Then the students laugh.
When the laughter subsided, the professor says, "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life ... The balls courses are the important things like family, children, health, friends, love, the things we enjoy. These are things that even 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, car, etc.. The sand is everything else: the little things. If we put first the sand into the jar, there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls for. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for things that really matter. Pay attention to things that are critical to your happiness playing with your kids, take the time to go to the doctor, go to dinner with your partner, practice your favorite sport or hobby. ; There will always be time to clean house, cut grass, to fix the little things ... Employees of the golf balls first, the things that really matter. Set your priorities: il resto è solo sabbia”.
Uno degli studenti alza la mano e chiede cosa rappresenti il caffè.
Il professore sorride e dice: “Sono contento che tu mi faccia questa domanda. E’ solo per dimostrarvi che non importa quanto occupata possa sembrare la vostra vita, c’è sempre posto per un paio di tazze di caffé con un amico!”.
