The Mayonnaise Jar & 2 Cups of Coffee

Thursday, April 17th, 2008

thanx for being such a thoughtful fren, yas…

When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in aday are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2 cups of coffee .

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in
front of him. When the class began, he wordlessly 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 an 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—your family, your children, your health, your
friends and your favourite passions—and 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..
Spend time with your children. Spend time with your parents.. Visit grandparents. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your spouse out to dinner. Play another 18. 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 and said, "I’m glad you asked."
The coffee just shows you that no matter how full your life may seem, there’s always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend."

Please share this with someone you care about.. I JUST DID..

beza antara SUKA, SAYANG & CINTA…

erm..very complex kan. aku rasa all of it ada kaitan. tp org slalu cakap suka tak semestinya sayang..sayang tak semestinya cinta.. boleh ke mcm tuh..?? dan ada jugak org bercakap..it’s easier to like than to love.. sebab dgn org yg kita suka.. kita akan lebih comfortable. kita mudah bercerita.. kita senang memberi pendapat.. kita boleh berbincang dengan baik..tp kalo ngan org yg kita sayang.. kita akan rasa nervous la..tak tentu arah la.. malu la.. knapa ek..?? sayang pon byk kategori. silap haribulan.. lain jadinya. kita sayang kepada Tuhan..(benda wajib tu beb!).. kite sayang kepada keluarga..kite sayang kepada rakan2..kita sayang kepada binatang…dan kita sayang kepada apa dan siapa yg kita sayang.. tp kenapa bila perasaan sayang dah ada di dalam hati.. masih timbul perkara yg menyakitkan hati. yeah! yeah! i know.. nothing n nobody is perfect. let us go through 1 by 1..

bile kita cakap kita sayang kepada Tuhan.. masih lagi berlaku perkara2 yang tak sepatutnya berlaku. kita masih lagi melakukan perkara2 terkutuk.. tinggal sembahyang..ada yang masih tinggal puasa la..buat apa yg tak sepatutnya laa.. tak ingat kat Dia pon.. pastuh bila ada tak kena..selalu mempersoalkan perkara itu.. sayang ke mcm tuh??

n bile kita sayang kepada keluarga..kenapa masih ada lagi hubungan keluarga yang tidak harmoni..yg tidak ada persefahaman antara satu sama lain.. kita selalu dimomokkan untuk menghormati si tua dan menyanyangi si muda. tp kadang2 tu..tak semestinya apa yg org lebih tua tu cakap betul semua..n tak semestinya pendapat si muda tu salah jekk..mcm mana tu ek…? mcm mana nk develop perasaan sayang…??

bile kita sayang kepada rakan2.. kenapa mesti ada yang masih lagi suka jadi backstabbers. tak senang dengan kesenangan kawan2 yg lain. tak senang melihat kawan2 lain happy.. pastu bile ada selisih faham sket..kadang2 berpanjangan. tak sayang ke kita pada persahabatan yg dah lama terjalin tuh.. n da worst.. rasa sayang antara rakan berlainan jantina sering disalahanggap. da line is very thin..silap2 bley jadi cinta platonik.. erm..it’s a very subjective n complex situation. jadi, macam mana kita nk rasa sayang yg ikhlas terhadap kawan2 kita..???

sayang kepada binatang..? tp masih ada yang sanggup mendera tanpa rasa belas kasihan. mereka pon benda bernyawa dan punya perasaan. bile aku teringat kes org US (kot laa..) yg dera lembu2 tuh semua..aku jadi rasa marah. apa kata kita dera dorg camtuh..?? biar dorang rasa.. hehe!!

sayang kepada apa dan siapa yang kita sayang… kadang2 kita tidak dapat berhubungan selalu dgn mereka. kita sentiasa sibuk ngan keje la..life la..itu la..ini la..ada jek la bendanya..tp tidak semestinya kita melupakan mereka walaupun ramai yg beranggapan kita tak ingat kat dorg. senyap tak semestinya kosong. senyap tak semestinya hilang.  how sweet n touched if we know that someone is missing us tho they never say it. mmg la kalo ikutkan..we hv to let ppl know wut’s in our mind n wut we feel inside..but then certain things are best unspoken.. depends on the situation.

n cinta..wow!! a very precious word. u can’t buy it wiv ur money dear.. it comes naturally from our heart.. when we love someone.. we r more than willing to do anything for that person. normally at this level..we dun think much 4 ourselves..da smile on their face is the light in our heart…n rainbow to our life. tp..kenapa masih ada yg suka memperdagangkan cinta..? y certain people takes it as a game.. love involves commitment between two people. it gives u hope..wut will happened when the hope is gone?? tp jgn lupa yek.. apa2 pon..kuasa Dia mengatasi segalanya. smtimes kita tak sangka apa nk jadi… 

so…mcm mana kita nk btol2 fahamkan antara SUKA, SAYANG dan CINTA…???
