A Valuable Lesson For A Happier Life
(Students talking. Bell rings.)
(Professor) Good afternoon everyone.
(Students) Good afternoon.
(Professor) We all have this one life to live. A fleeting shadow amongst all that exists in this vast universe. We have the ability to accomplish anything, truly anything, if we use our time wisely.
(background music)
(Professor) Is this jar full?
(Students) Yes.
(Professor) Is it full now?
(Students) Yes.
(Professor) How about now? Is the jar full now?
(students) Yes.
(Professor chuckles to himself. Classroom laughter. More classroom laugher.)
(Professor) Now I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls... are the important things, your family, your friends, your health and your passions. The pebbles are the other important things, your car, your job, your home. The sand is everything else, the small stuff.
Now, if you put the sand in the jar first, you won't have room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same is true in life. If you spend all your energy and your time on the small stuff, you won't have time for all the really important things that matter to you.
Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Take care of the golf balls first, the really important things. Set your priorities, because everything else is just sand.
(Student) Professor, what does the beer represent?
(Students laugh)
(Professor) I'm glad you asked. It goes to show that no matter how full your life may seem to be, there is always room for a couple of beers with a friend.
