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
unnecessary things
in life.' 'If you were to put all the sand grains in first [the
unnecessary 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.
