Life, Golf Balls and Beer!
This is kind of an old urban myth (and I’m not sure what the original source is for this story) but sometimes you need to have something to give you a feel-good factor…..anyway here’s the story……
A professor stood before his philosophy class with some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large, 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 small pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly and the pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.
Next, the professor 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 cans of beer from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed. As the laughter subsided, the professor said:
“I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things: your family, your children, your health, your friends, 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: 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 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 care about your health; the way you feel and the way you look. Take your partner out to dinner. Play another round of golf or go to the gym. 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 beer represented. The professor smiled and said,
“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 beers.”
A philosophy we whole-heartedly agree with here at KK!
