The Mayonnaise Jar and 2 Cups of Coffee:


When things in your lives 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, he wordlessly
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 an
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 family, your children, your
health, your
friends and your favorite passions--and 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
spouse 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."
