- A story to think about: The teacher and life. -

I share with my dear leyentes this little story philosophical about life. I have not written it, but it made me think while I can not resist mostrarosla.

A professor of philosophy in the middle of a class emptied a large jar full of mayonnaise and proceeded to fill it with golf balls, all without uttering a word .

then asked the students if the jar was full.
Students agreed to say yes, so the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured into the jar of mayonnaise. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. The teacher again asked the students if the jar was full, they again say yes.

Then the teacher took a box of sand and poured it into the bottle, of course, the sand filled all the gaps, so the teacher asked again if the jar was full. On this occasion the students responded with an unanimous "yes.
The professor then produced 2 cups of coffee to content bottle and effectively filling the empty space between the sand.

students laughed at this time. When the laughter subsided, the professor said:
- I want you to recognize the following:
1. This bottle represents life.
2. golf balls are the important things: family, children, health, friends, everything you love. Things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.
3. The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house, car, etc.
4. The sand is everything else, little things: love, concern, disappointment.

- If you put the sand into the jar first, there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life, if we spend all our time and energy on the small stuff, you never have room for the really important things.

In defintiva, pay attention to things that are critical to your happiness: Play with your children, Take time to get medical checkups, Go with your partner to dinner, practice your favorite sport or hobby. There will be time to clean house and fix the water. 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 coffee represented .
The professor smiled and said:
- I'm glad you asked ... It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there is always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend. WOULD YOU LIKE?

If this story has touched the hearts you or made you see life through different eyes ... read it again but this time more attention ... or you may prefer to see the reflection that I myself do about life:

My advice, "Do not get stuck in negative things, learn from them, values \u200b\u200band advances the important things in life. "
