The Preserve Jar and to cups of coffee…


When the stuff in your life seems almost incapable, when 24 hours pr day is not enough, then remember the preserve jar and the coffee…

A Professor stood in front of his students in Philosophy with some things on his desk. When the lesson started, he took up, without saying a word, a very large and empty preserve jar, and started to fill it with golf balls. When he had done so, he asked the class if the jar was full, and they were agree it was.

Then the professor took a box of small stones and started to put into the jar. He shaked the jar carefully, so the small stones spread inn between the balls. Then he asked once again if the jar was full, and the class meant that it was.

Then again, the professor took a box of sand, and started to fill into the jar. The sand naturally filled the rest of the holes in the jar. Once again he asked the students if it was full. And the class answered all as one...yes. As a last try the professor pored two cups of coffee into the jar. The air in between the sand corns were now effetely filled up. The students were laughing.


Now, the professor said, when the laughter start to quiet. “If you can imagine yourself that this jar represent your life. The Golf balls is the most important tings in life – your family, your dearest one, health, friends, and favourite passions, the things that, even if all the rest were missed, and only these things were left, it would after all do your life fulfilled and good.


The small stones is the other things that matter, as job, house, car, and so on. The sand is all the rest of small stuff.” The professor headed “If you put the sand into the jar as the first, you will not got room for the golf balls. The same thing goes for your life. If u use all your energy and time on the small, unimportant things, you will never be able to got room for the most important things. Be aware on those things that are decisive for your happiness!!


It will always be time to do the housework and clean the car. Take care of the golf balls first, the things that really mean something. Get order in what u want to prior. The rest is only sand. One of the students asked: “What does the coffee represent?” “I am glad u asked” said the professor. “That is only to show, that no matter how fulfilled your life seems to be, there will always be room for a cup of coffee or two with a good friend.” ;-)

How true, how true!

Moon of my Moon...Let's have a quiet cup of coffee on that. :]]

Ms. Moon.....
That is a wonderful parable, and believe it or not, gave me pause to think. I just wonder how the kitties fit in there? They would surely help to fill the jar of life.

;-) aye... they surely would.. You know, its up to you to deside what should fill it. The thing is to be aware of what you choose, and not be uncocious about it. Too many are. ;-) Come on now..Join us for a cup of coffee..! ;-)

Thank You, I will.
And one should not feel too guilty about making choices that bring you joy in your life.....they may be more important to you than you realize. They will not overflow the jar if the big bits are in place first.

I for one am glad that there are not to many "gursts". Type of typo I make all the time. Thank the Lord for spell check.

No problem Moon. It caught my attention because I used to type "turst" instead of trust.

You raise an interesting point, though, Cody...


Back in the Victorian times, precise spelling, excellent grammar, lovely and legible handwriting and so forth, were marks of a proper education. That in turn, made for class differences and snobbery. That persisted on well into the present century.

But with everyone typing their own material (where did all the secrataries go?), often in a hurry, all that text messaging, acronyms, kwik-phone typing...

Is spelling important in English, anymore? Will Spell Check last for long? Will anybody care, so long as meanings are clear?

I wonder, sometimes.

I think it's important. I try to always spell things correctly, other than silly typing blunders. I often have a window open with the MSN Encarta dictionary. I find that as I am getting older, I find it harder to remember the correct spelling of some words. But I care enough to check.

And that does not by any means infer that I belittle others for errors in their posts. They might just be typos, and there are also many here among us that use English as a secondary language.

Hi Moon, Ice, and everyone else. Just back from my short trip, everything went fine even better than I had hoped.

Fantastic Stealth. You going to split the winnings 40/30/30?

I wish there were winnings to split. Actually, I had a Dr.s appt. for an ortho eval. The prognoses was good, no knives, no shots, just keep doing what I'm doing.

I certainly understand, msattler (Good Luck with your kitties, if indeed there IS some plot against your threads), I'm an obsessive self corrector of my posting errors. Heaven knows I use the Edit button several times after each post.

But why is it important in ordinary conversation? Isn't that practice changing among the great majority of Generation X,Y, and Z? I mean, report have it that most young people are poor spellers nowadays. Maybe part of the reason is that they just don't care anymore? Does it mean that culture is changing? I don't know.

I wholeheartedly agree with you, that in a friendly, relaxed place like our Cafe Seti forums, nobody should make a fuss over typos. :]]
