20160810 for pete's class: Make Time For

People Not Things

Make Time For People Not Things

Aprofessor stood before his Philosophy class and had

some items in front of him.When the class began,

wordlessly, he picked up a very large and

emptymayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf

balls.

Hethen asked the students if the jar was full. They

agreed that it was. Theprofessor then picked up a box

of pebbles and poured them into the jar. Heshook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas

between the golfballs. He then asked the students

again if the jar was full. They agreed itwas.

Theprofessor next picked up a box of sand and poured

it into the jar. Of course,the sand filled up everything

else. He asked once more if the jar was full.

Thestudents responded with a unanimous “yes.”

Theprofessor then produced two cups of coffee from

under the table and poured theentire contents into

the jar, effectively filling the empty space between

thesand. The students laughed.

Now,said the professor, as the laughter subsided, I

want you to recognize that thisjar represents your life.

Thegolf balls are the important things – your God,

family, your children, yourhealth, your friends, and

your favorite passions – things that if everythingelse

was lost and only they remained, your life would still

be full.

Thepebbles are the other things that matter like your

job, your house, and yourcar. The sand is everything

else – the small stuff. If you put the sand intothe jar

first, he continued, there is no room for the pebbles or the golfballs. The same goes for life. If you spend all

your time and energy on thesmall stuff, you will never

have room for the things that are important to you.

Payattention to the things that are critical to your

happiness. Play with yourchildren. Take your partner

out to dinner. Enjoy the "Joys" of Family.There will

always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal.

Takecare of the golf balls first, the things that really

matter. Set yourpriorities. The rest is just sand. One of

the students raised her hand andinquired what the

coffee represented. The professor smiled. I’m glad

you asked.It just goes to show you that no matter how

full your life may seem, there’salways room for a cup

of coffee with a friend.
