deze kreeg ik net van moeders When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the Mayonnaise jar and the 2 glasses of wine... 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 glasses of wine 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; your family, your children, your health, your friends, and 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 like your job, your house, and your 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.' 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. Play another 18. Do one more run down the ski slope. 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 wine 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 glasses of wine with a friend.'
Alleen die laatste zin..... die paar glazen wijn moeten helaas nog even op me wachten.... Waaaaaa dat mis ik af en toe wel trouwens!!! Een lekker glas rode wijn met een olijfje erbij, heerlijk. Of droge witte, ijskoud mjammm Oeps ik moet de kids uit school halen! Doei!
Heel mooi BSB! We staan daar ook vaak te weinig bij stil. Net zoals we zo vaak focussen op wat we niet hebben, in plaats van wat we wel hebben.
komen er net weer 2 van die gladde verkopers aan de deur van de nuon. Wat word ik ziek van die gasten zeg bahhh. Ze zijn nu al 3x aan de deur geweest om ons over te halen om daar bij te gaan. Ik werd nu gewoon een beetje kwaad hoor. Als ik wil overstappen kijk ik dat wel op mijn gemak en niet zo in de deuropening. En dan kan je er nog niet eens over na denken maar moet je direct beslissen.
*blaadje aan het dubbel vouwen* nee helaas niet *weer een blaadje aan het dubbel vouwen* nog 290 te gaan * gaap*
