The Mayonnaise Jar - Life

“Achievers never expose themselves but their achievements expose them.Never Say “ DO OR DIE “ Say “ DO before you DIE" The Mayonnaise Jar When things in your life seem, almost too much to handle, When 24 Hours in a day is not enough, Remember the mayonnaise jar and 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 a 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 - family, children, health, Friends, and 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, house, and 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. So... 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. 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.' Please share this with other "Golf Balls" I just did......

The day's Toast ;)

I read something interesting >>>

Something that I've practiced and forgotten with time...

At least, that's the way i suppose it to be.

Over a period of time, I've let that art in me to deteriorate...

I realize how much I've lost by letting that skill drain off my brain...

Quite confusing right...

I use the word "art" and "skill" to refer to the same thing.

Well, it is a profuse mix of both.

The article was on presentation skills.

It was more along the lines of "Executive and Slightly-Knowledgeable BS"

This one provided me with techniques that seem very realistic, and are considerably

effective.

I'll make sure that i use these techniques, and more importantly, remember these

all my life

For these have actually helped me showcase things better than the best.

Its quite weird ...

Two other quotes that i liked a lot also came to my mind while blogging...

Just felt like adding them to my day's toast.

# I have been having a dream, and though i realize its a dream, i still can't break from it .

# One cannot gain something without presenting something of equal value.

These quotes are from animes.

Both these quotes present a piece of info, which if well read could present us with the

path of success...

Like I'd always say, the most valuable pieces of info can always be found in the most unlikely places. ;)

And, that's the way it is... hope you enjoy this toast ;)
