A professor stood before his class and had soke items in front of him. When class began, wordlessly he picked ip a big empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with rocks right up to the top, rocks about 2" in diameter. He then asked the tudents if the jar was full? They agreed that it was so the professer the picked up a box of pebbles and poured them in2 the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles of course, rolled in2 the open areas btween the rocks. The students laughed. He asked the studeents again if the jar was full? They agreed yes again. The professor then picked up a box of sand and pured in in the jar takeing up the left over space.
"I want u to recognize that this is your life. The rocks r the imprtant things like family and if u lost them u would nearly b destroy'd, the pebbles ar smaller things like ur car orjob or house, and the sand is is the smaller stuff tht dosn't matter all that much.
If u put the sand or pebbles in 1st there would b no room for the rocks. The samw goes for ur life, if u spend all ur energy on the sand then u won't have room 4 the important stuff
