WE WILL " STILL DRINK A COFFEE "
A teacher, before your philosophy class, without telling only one word, caught a pot of glass, big and empty, and it began to fill it with golf balls.
Soon after, he asked his students if the flask was full and, immediately, all said that yes.
The teacher then, caught a box of marbles and it emptied it inside of the pot.
The marbles filled all the emptiness among the golf balls.
The teacher wondered the flask again it was full and he heard from your students again that yes.
Soon after, he caught a box of sand and it emptied it inside of the pot. The sand filled out the empty spaces that still remained and him and he asked the students, that answered again that the pot now was full.
The teacher caught a glass of coffee (liquid) and it spilled it on the pot humidifying the sand.
The students laughed at the situation, when the teacher spoke:
I " want that understand that the glass pot represents our lives. The golf balls are the most important elements, as God, the family and the friends. They are with which our lives would be full and replete of happiness. The marbles are the other things that matter: the work, the beautiful house, the new car, etc. The sand represents all the small things. But if we had placed the sand in first place in the flask, there would not be space for the golf balls and for the one of marble. The same happens in our lives. If we spent all our time and energy with the small things we will neversame happens in our lives. If we spent all our time and energy with the small things we will never have really room for the things important. Pay attention in the things that are primordial for your happiness. Play with your children, leave to have fun with the family and with the friends, dedicate a little of time to you same, look for God and have faith in him, look for the knowledge, study, practice your favorite sport... there will Always be time for the other things, but it occupies
m-if of the golf balls in first place. The rest is just sand ".
A student got up and he asked what represented the coffee.
The teacher answered:
" That good that asked me this question, because the coffee is just to demonstrate that doesn't matter how busy it is our life, there will always be place to take a coffee with a great friend "
It is worthwhile to contemplate...
