A VERY INTERESTING STORY ABOUT LIFE
A professor 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 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. So 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 poured 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 a unanimous "yes." The professor then produced two cups of coffee 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 recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things, your God, family, your children, your health, your friends, and your favorite passions things that 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. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. 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. "I'm glad you asked. It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend." Please share this with someone you care about.

Thankyou for caring about me.

Moron.

this is stupidity at pure state, simple simbology for obvious things

So how much did that jar weigh when it was completely full?

"A man cannot live on golf balls alone" - Corinthians 3:23

i thought that was good to read - was interesting

thanks the atao and jc, positive comments are always appreciated. Clint, why does the weight of the jar matter?

Who ate the mayonnaise?

The proffessor i would guess..

Moron professor I like mayonnaise I want it

better story would encapsulate emulsive qualities of mayonnaise, as it involves the combination of two immiscible liquids in which microscopic globules of a colloid are suspended in a base of a carrying liquid. what a tragic waste.

Yes but I don't understand why I have to play golf to eat my mayonnaise!

Clint, why does the weight of the jar matter? I want to know how much shit the gar can hold. First weigh it when it's empty then fill it up and weigh it again. Subtract the tare from the gross to get the net weight. Of course, if you're on the top of mount everest, the jar will weigh less than at sea level.

or you just don't weight it!
