The Mayonnaise Jar

another mail I want to share.....


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.'

How do you recognize Udurawana in School?
He is the one who erases the notes from the book when the teacher erases the board.

Once Udurawana was walking he had a glove on one hand and not on other. So the man asked him why he did so. He replied that the weather forecast announced that on one hand it would be cold and on the other hand it would be hot.

Udurawana is in a bar and his cellular phone rings. He picks it up and says `Hello, how did you know I was here?`

Udurawana bought a brand new Maruti and decided to drive down from Kandy , where he lived, to Colombo to meet his friend. He reached there in a few hours. After spending a few days there, he decided to return, and called up his mother to expect him in the evening. But he didn`t reach in the evening and not the next day either. When he finally reached home on the third day,
his distraught mother ran and asked him `What Happened, My Son` Udurawana got out, obviously very tired from the long journey, and said, `These Maruti Car people are crazy! They have four gears for going forward, but only one for going back!

Udurawana - why r all these people running?
Man - This is a race, the winner will get the cup
Udurawana - If only the winner will get the cup, why others running?

Teacher: `I killed a person` convert this sentence into future tense.
Udurawana: The future tense is `u will go to jail`

Udurawana told his servant: Go and water the plants
Servant: It`s already raining
Udurawana: So what? Take an umbrella and go.
