>A philosophy professor stood before his class and had some items in front of him.
>When class began, wordlessly he picked up a large empty mayonnaise jar and

>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

>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 it 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 out dancing.
>There will always be time to go to work, clean the house, give a dinner
>party and fix the disposal."
>
>"Take care of the rocks first - the things that really matter.
>Set your priorities. The rest is just sand."
