When there is too much of everything in your life, when there is not enough 24 hours in a day, think of a can of mayonnaise... and coffee. A professor of philosophy stood in front of the audience and there were several objects on the table in front of him. When the lecture began, without saying a word, he took a very large and empty mayonnaise can and began to fill it with golf balls. Then he asked the students if the can was full? They answered “yes.” Then the professor took a box of pebbles and poured it into the jar. He shook the jar a bit. Pebbles filled the space between the balls. Oh again asked the students if the jar was full. They confirmed that it was so. Then the professor took a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled all the voids. And he again asked the students if the jar was full. Students answered " yes. "The professor took two cups of coffee that stood under the table and poured them into a can, filling all the free space between the sand. The students laughed." So! "said the professor when everyone calmed down," I want you to imagine that this the jar is your life. Golf balls are important things. These are your family, children, faith, health, friends and your favorite hobbies. Even if everything else is lost, but these things remain, your life will still be complete. Pebbles are the rest of the things that matter. Your work, home, car. Sand is everything else. These are trifles. “If you first fill the entire can with sand,” he continued, “there will be no room for pebbles and golf balls in it. The same thing happens in life. If you spend all your time and energy on trifles, you will never have places for things that are really important to you. Pay attention to those things that are important for your happiness! Play with your children. Take care of your health. Invite a life partner to the restaurant. Become an 18 year old again. You will always have time for cleaning the house. Take care immediately of the golf balls, that "really important. Set priorities. The rest is sand." One of the students raised his hand and asked the professor, what does coffee mean? The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked this question. It just shows that no matter how full your life is, it always has a place to drink a couple cups of coffee with a friend."
