A philosophy professor He appeared before his class with a large, empty jar of mayonnaise.
He began to fill it with stones 5 centimeters in diameter. She then asked the students if the jar was full. They all answered affirmatively.
Next, the teacher took a handful of marbles and he put them in the jar. He shook the jar lightly and the marbles, of course, filled the open spaces between the stones.
He then asked the students if the jar was full. They all answered affirmatively.
The teacher took a box with arena and he emptied it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled in all the existing gaps. She asked again if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous “yes.”
"Now", said the teacher, "I want you to understand that This bottle represents life. The stones are the important things, your family, your partner, your health, your children. Those things with which we truly feel satisfied.
The marbles are the other things that matter, like your job, your house, your car.
The sand is everything else. The little things.
If we put the sand in the jar first, there will be no room for the marbles or stones. The same goes for your life.
If we spend all our time and energy on the little things, we will never have room to the things that are important to us. Pay attention to the things that are crucial to you happiness. Play with your children. Take your partner dancing. There will always be time to go to work, clean the house, give a dinner and make the bed.
Set your priorities. The rest is just sand. "
