The Mayonnaise Jar

When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, When 24

Hours in a day is not enough, Remember the mayonnaise jar and

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 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

- Family, Children, Health, Friends and 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, House

and 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. So, pay attention to the things that are critical

to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical

check-ups. Take your partner out to dinner. 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.'
