I
think
we all need
to learn a
lesson
from this:
A college professor was doing a
demonstration to his students. He had
a big glass jar. He put
several big rocks in it. He
asked his students 'Can
anything else fit in here?' They all replied 'No.' Then he put small pebbles
in the jar. Several
students gave a chuckle realizing they were wrong. The
professor asked again 'Can anything
else fit in here?' They all replied 'No.'
Then he poured a bag of sand in the jar. This time almost
all of the students
let out an almost laugh. Then
he said 'The rocks are the important
things in
life; your family, friends, etc.' 'The pebbles are the minor things in life which
come after the rocks.' 'The sand
grains stand for all of the unnessacary things
in life.' 'If you were to put all the sand grains in first [the unnessacary
things],
then the pebbles [the minor
things], then the rocks [the
important things], it
wouldn't fit. Therefore, you
have to realize that family
and friends come first.
