mayonnaise jar and the 2 cups of coffee…
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 cups of
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 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 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 recognize that this jar represents
your life.
The golf balls are the important things-your God,
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, 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 checkups.
Take your partner out to dinner. Play another 18.
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 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."
