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 cups of coffee...
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 cups of coffee 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 God, 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. 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 coffee 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 cups of coffee with a friend." -

Read .....and think about it.........
if a girl cries in front of u,
it means that she couldnt take
it anymore.
A girl wont cry easily,
except in front of the person whom she
loves the most, she put down her ego.
Guys, if a gal cries bcoz of u,
please hold her hands firmly,
coz she's the one who is willing to stay
with u 4 for the rest of ur life.
Guys, if a gal cries bcoz of u,
please dont give her up,
maybe bcoz of ur decision,
u may ruin her life.
When she cry rite in front of u,
When she cry bcoz of u,
Look into her eyes,
Can u see n feel the pain n hurt she's
feeling?
Think.
Which other girl have cried with pure
sincerity,
In front of u,
And bcoz of u?
She cries not because she is weak,
She cries not bcoz she wants sympathy or
pity,
She cries,
Because crying silently is no longer
possibleÂ….
Â…..the pain, hurt n agony have bcome too
big a
burden to be
kept inside.
Guys,
Think about it,
If a gal cry her heart out to u,
And all because of u,
Its time to look back on wat u had done and wat have u didÂ…
Only u will know the answer to it.
Do consider it,
Coz one day,
It may b too late for regrets,
It may b too late to say "im sorry".
Ponder this message seriously.
Dont do this to a gal,
You may regret for the rest of ur life.
Maybe in ur life,
she's the only one who loves u the most.
Remember this lesson -
