Jar And Two Beers


Jar And Two Beers

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 2 Beers:

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him


When the class began, he wordlessly 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 oured 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 Beers 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 recognise that this jar represents your life


The golf balls are the important things your family, your children, your health, your friends and your favorite passions and 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 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 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..


Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness

😀

Spend time with your children


Spend time with your parents


Visit with grandparents.


Take time to get medical checkups


Take your spouse 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 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 and said! “I'm glad you asked!

😀

The Beer just shows you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of Beers with a friend!”

A man travels on a ship

  A man travels on a ship. 😀 Two days in, the ship encounters a storm and drowns. Hanging on weakly to a piece of the mast, he manages to survive and gets washed up on an unknown island. Only problem is, it’s so unknown that no ship ever comes near it. 10 years pass on the island, and the survivor has been alone all this time, that is until one day, he suddenly notices an unusual speck in the distance. “It’s certainly not a ship,” he thinks to himself. No ship has ever come. As the speck gets closer and closer the man starts to rule out the possibility that it’s a small boat or even a raft. Suddenly, emerging from the surf is a beautiful blonde woman wearing scuba gear and a wet suit. She approaches the man, who can’t believe his eyes. She tells him she has a boat nearby, and she just took a swim. 😀 The look of the poor man makes her feel a great wave of pity for him. “Tell me, how long has it been since you’ve had a cigarette?” she asks the man. “It’s been 10 years,” he replies....

A guy stops by a cafe for breakfast

A guy stops by a cafe for breakfast A guy stops by a cafe for breakfast.   😀 After paying the tab, he checks his pockets and leaves his tip – three pennies. As he strides toward the door, his waitress muses, only half to herself, “You know, you can tell a lot about a man by the tip he leaves.” The man turns around, curiosity getting the better of him. “Oh, really? Tell me, what does my tip say?” “Well, this penny tells me you’re a thrifty man.” 😀 Barely able to conceal his pride, the man utters, “Hmm, true enough.” “And this penny, it tells me you’re a bachelor.” Surprised at her perception, he says, “Well, that’s true, too.”   😀 “And the third penny tells me that your father was one, too.”
