Real philosophy of life - Joke
A philosophy proessor stood before his class with a selection of items in front of him.
When the lecture began, he took a very large glass, filled it up with large stones, which was approx. 5 cm wide.
When the glass was full, he asked the students :
"Is the glass filled up now?"
Everyone agreed that it was.
The Professor Peter took some very small stones, and gently into the glass while he shakes it very carefully, causing the smaller stones to go in between the larger stones.
When the glass again was filled up to the edge he asked once more :
"Is the glass filled up now?"
Everyone agreed that it was filled up.
When the professor placed a bag with sand on the table the students laughs, of cause the professor could ad sand between the stones, and he filled it to the top.
"Now!" said the professor "Please imagine that this glass is your life!"
The large stones is the meaningful things in your life, family, girlfriend's etc.kids, your health etc. things that are important so no matter if you lose any values they will always be a part of your life.
The small stones are stuff not that important , like your job, house, car and the sand is everything else.
"Please notice ! If the glass is full of sand there will be no room for small and large stones. It's the same in life, if you use your time and energy on small stuff there will be no room for important and meaningful stuff.
Always focus on which things there is important for you, and your life will be great and happy.
Play with your kids , see the doctor, take care of your health. Date your partner there will always be time to work, clean up the house and smaller stones!"
"Fill up your life with large stones that really matters and are important. Check and arrange your large rocks and stones and keep in mind that the rest is only smaller stones and sand."
All the students can se the point !
The Professor now looks over the students and takes a glass of beer, carefully he pours all the beer between the sand, smaller and larger stones / rocks
Turns his head up again and says :
" And morale is! No matter what happens in your life there will always be room for beer!"
