    When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in
    a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2 glasses of
    wine...

    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.
    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 he sand filled up everything else He asked once more if the jar
    was full. The students re sponded with an unanimous 'yes.'
    The professor then produced two glasses of wine 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 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 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 out to
    dinner. Play another 18. Do one more run down the ski slope. There will
    always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal. 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 wine
    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
    glasses of wine with a friend.'
