Theyagreed that it was. The professor then picked up a boxof pebblesand poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areasbetween 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 pouredit into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. Heasked once more if the jar was full.The students responded with a unanimous yes." Theprofessor then produced two cups of coffee from underthe 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 ifeverything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.The pebbles are the other things that matter like yourjob, 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 thegolf balls."The same goes for life. If you spend all your time andenergy on the small stuff, you will never have roomfor the things that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to yourhappiness. Play with your children. Take time to getmedical 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 thatreally matter. Set your priorities. The rest is justsand."One of the students raised her hand and inquired whatthe coffee represented. The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked. It justgoes to show you that no matter how full your life mayseem, there's always room for a couple of cups ofcoffee with a friend."Please share this with someone you care about. I JUST DID. </blockquote>
