What is most important in your life and manage them

in #important7 years ago (edited)

A professor stood before his philosophy class holding a large and empty pickle jar.

When the class began he proceeded to fill the jar with golf balls. He 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. The pebbles rolled into the space areas like this.

He asked the students again if the jar was full. The students agreed again.

The professor next picked up sand and poured into the jar.

Of course the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more of the jar was full.

They all responded with a unanimous “yes".

The professor then poured a bottle of chocolate milk into the jar effectively filling the empty space between sand and asked if it was full.

The students laughed!

'Now',said the professor, ' I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life.’

Golf balls are important things - family , friends, health etc

Pebbles are other things that matter like career, your dreams etc.

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 golf balls.

Same goes with life.

Everthing is important in life, you need to set your priorities. Take care of the golf balls first!

You must be wondering what about chocolate milk.

Well, no matter how full and perfect life may seem, there's always room for chocolates ;-)
