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 beer.

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
*****.
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. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the areas
between the golf *****. 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. Again, the students responded
with a unanimous yes.

The professor then produced two cans of beer 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 ***** are the
important things
- your family, your children, your health, your friends and your
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, 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 *****. 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 rounds.
There will always be time to clean the house, and fix the disposal.
Take
care of the golf ***** 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 beer
represented.

The professor smiled. I'm glad you asked me that, he said. It just goes
to show that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room
for a couple of beers.
