In this post, I am sharing a story which I like very much. Once a Professor brought an empty jar and some other material into the classroom and told students that he is going to teach very important lesson today. He put the empty jar on the table and started putting table tennis balls into the jar until the time there was no place for more balls to settle in the jar. He then asked the students “Is this jar full?”Students answered “Yes”. Then professor started putting some pebbles into the jar until there was no place for more pebbles to settle in the jar. He again asked the same question and got the same reply. Then he started putting sand into the jar until there was no place for more sand to settle in the jar.He again asked the same question and got the same reply. This time he started putting water into the jar until the time there was no more place for water to settle in the jar. Then Professor looked at the students and asked “What did you learn from this exercise?” There was complete silence.Professor then explained: The empty jar is our life. The table tennis balls are important things in our life like God, family, children, relations, friends, health, passion etc. Small pebbles means your job, car, big home etc Sand means useless things like hatred, anger, fights etc. If you would have filled the jar first with sand, then there would have been no place left for table tennis balls and pebbles. If you would have filled the jar with pebbles first, then there would have been no place left for balls, only sand could have come. He then explained that same philosophy applies in life. If you are always discussing small matters, talking useless things about others, then you will have no time for important things in your life. You have to decide what is more important for true and real happiness in life.Play with your children, spend time with your family and friends, maintain good health, everything else is sand.
