Dear friends:
Welcome to the new community!
Before you start to read the article below, we would like you to paused for a minute and think on many things, such as
-What are the most important things in your lives?
-Who you love most?
-What is your first priority currently?
After you read this short article, please do the same thing as we asked above.
As your friends, we will like to share with you about our stories and our experience in LOVE, MARRIAGE, RELIGION, POLITICS, WORK, AND STUDY, and ETC. As well, we would like you to come, join us, learn with us together, grow. and make our dreams come true.
We can not predict the future, but we are the one who creates the future.
With one person, we can do things. With a group of people, we will do many and much better things.
TWO GLASSES OF WINE: (One of our firm's senior manager sent me this as I was about starting to set up our blog, so I thought it might be a chance to share with everyone)
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 sand filled up everything else He asked once
more if the jar was full. The students responded 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."
