So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles, of course rolled into the open areas between the rocks. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was. The students laughed. The professor picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course , the sand filled up everything else.
"Now, said the professor . I want you to recognize that this is your life. The rocks are the important things -- your family, your partner, your health, your children. Anything that is so important to you that if they were lost, you would be nearly destroyed."
"The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house, your car. The sand is everything else... the small stuff. If you put the sand into the jar first, there is no room for the pebbles or the rocks. The same goes for your life. If you spend all your energy and time on the small stuff. You will never have room for the things that are important to you."
"Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your partner dancing. There will always be time to go to work, clean the house, give a dinner party, fix the disposal and etc."
Take care of the rocks first -- the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just pebbles and sand.
"So give time and show some love."
.....This is a very beautiful story to share to those who are very busy with their jobs and don't have enough time to spend for their loved ones... Now if you are one of them , try to ask yourself, "To whom do you work for? " Then try to reflect. " Time is so swift as the wind, there are so many things that would happen in an instant. You will never know what awaits you in the future. " So, spend your time sharing some love!!!
