It’s really wonderful
Drink it to its lease
![Page 3: Life. Finding and enjoying the vibrancy of life](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062702/554972e0b4c905dd558b55f7/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
I will tell you a story
This story is about a professor teaching his students what’s life
after all.
![Page 4: Life. Finding and enjoying the vibrancy of life](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062702/554972e0b4c905dd558b55f7/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
A professor stood before his philosophy class and had
some items in front of him.
![Page 5: Life. Finding and enjoying the vibrancy of life](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062702/554972e0b4c905dd558b55f7/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and
proceeded to fill it with golf balls.
![Page 6: Life. Finding and enjoying the vibrancy of life](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062702/554972e0b4c905dd558b55f7/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
He then asked the students if the jar was full
They agreed that it was
![Page 7: Life. Finding and enjoying the vibrancy of life](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062702/554972e0b4c905dd558b55f7/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar.
He shook the jar lightly
![Page 8: Life. Finding and enjoying the vibrancy of life](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062702/554972e0b4c905dd558b55f7/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls.
![Page 9: Life. Finding and enjoying the vibrancy of life](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062702/554972e0b4c905dd558b55f7/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
He then asked the students again if the jar was full
![Page 10: Life. Finding and enjoying the vibrancy of life](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062702/554972e0b4c905dd558b55f7/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
They agreed it was.
![Page 11: Life. Finding and enjoying the vibrancy of life](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062702/554972e0b4c905dd558b55f7/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar.
![Page 12: Life. Finding and enjoying the vibrancy of life](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062702/554972e0b4c905dd558b55f7/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Of course, the sand fi lled up everything else
![Page 13: Life. Finding and enjoying the vibrancy of life](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062702/554972e0b4c905dd558b55f7/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a
unanimous ‘yes.’
![Page 14: Life. Finding and enjoying the vibrancy of life](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062702/554972e0b4c905dd558b55f7/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The professor then produced two Bottles of apple juice from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar
effectively filling the empty space between the sand.
![Page 15: Life. Finding and enjoying the vibrancy of life](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062702/554972e0b4c905dd558b55f7/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The students laughed.
![Page 16: Life. Finding and enjoying the vibrancy of life](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062702/554972e0b4c905dd558b55f7/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
‘Now,’ said the professor as the laughter subsided, ‘I want you
to recognize that this jar represents your life.
![Page 17: Life. Finding and enjoying the vibrancy of life](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062702/554972e0b4c905dd558b55f7/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The golf balls are the important things—-your family, your children, your
health, your friends and your favorite passions—-and if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life
would still be full
![Page 18: Life. Finding and enjoying the vibrancy of life](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062702/554972e0b4c905dd558b55f7/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The pebbles are the other things that matter like your
job, your house and your car. The sand is everything else—-
the small stuff.
![Page 19: Life. Finding and enjoying the vibrancy of life](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062702/554972e0b4c905dd558b55f7/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
‘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.
![Page 20: Life. Finding and enjoying the vibrancy of life](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062702/554972e0b4c905dd558b55f7/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
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.
![Page 21: Life. Finding and enjoying the vibrancy of life](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062702/554972e0b4c905dd558b55f7/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness.
Spend time with your children.
![Page 22: Life. Finding and enjoying the vibrancy of life](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062702/554972e0b4c905dd558b55f7/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Spend time with your parents. Visit with grandparents. Take your spouse out to dinner
![Page 23: Life. Finding and enjoying the vibrancy of life](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062702/554972e0b4c905dd558b55f7/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
There will always be time to clean the house and mow the
lawn.
Take care of the golf balls first—-the things that really
matter.
![Page 24: Life. Finding and enjoying the vibrancy of life](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062702/554972e0b4c905dd558b55f7/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.
![Page 25: Life. Finding and enjoying the vibrancy of life](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062702/554972e0b4c905dd558b55f7/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
One of the students
raised her hand and inquired
what the apple juice
represented.
![Page 26: Life. Finding and enjoying the vibrancy of life](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062702/554972e0b4c905dd558b55f7/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
The professor
smiled and said, ‘I’m glad
you asked.’
![Page 27: Life. Finding and enjoying the vibrancy of life](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062702/554972e0b4c905dd558b55f7/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
The juice just shows you that no
matter how full your life may seem, there’s
always room for a bottle of apple
juice with a friend
