> A philosophy professor stood before his class and had some items in front

> 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 recognise that this is your
> life.
> The rocks are the important things - your family, your partner, your
> health, your children - 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, 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 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 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.

> But then ... An Australian student took the jar which the other students
> and the professor agreed was full, and proceeded to pour in a can of
> beer. Of course the beer filled the remaining spaces within the jar making
> the jar truly full. Which proves: that no matter how full your life is,
> THERE IS ALWAYS ROOM FOR A BEER!😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏
