Management Of Life And Work

The professor of philosophy stood on the podium and took out an empty glass tank about 3 litres, filled with stones about 5 centimeters in diameter. He then asked the students:


"Is the pot full?"


"It's full."

Replied the students.


So the professor took out a small bag of green beans and poured them into the glass jar and shook them gently.

Of course, mung beans fill the gap between stones.

The professor asked, "is the jar full?"


The students laughed and replied, "it's full."


Then the professor took a box full of sand from the table, poured the sand into the glass pot, and the sand was completely filled with gaps.

He asked the students again, "is the jar full?"


"Yes, it's full this time!" the students cried.


The professor smiled and took out two cans of beer and poured it into the glass pot. The sand absorbed all the beer until the last drop.

The students laughed all over here.


"Now, what I want you to understand is that the glass can represent your whole life. Stones represent the most important things in your life: family, health, friends, children.

They can make your life full and beautiful. Although other things are lost, they will accompany you throughout your life.

The professor went on, "and mung beans represent you.

work

Houses, cars, and sand represent other little things.

If the sand was first filled with glass jars, there would be no green beans and stones.

In the same way, if you spend all your time and energy in your life, you will have no time to take care of the most important things.

You should always do something that brings you happiness: play with children, and spare time for your friends and friends.

And often find time to do the work, clean up the room, repair and wipe the car. "


  

professor

After finishing class, a student raised his hand and asked, "what does beer mean?"


The professor smiled and said, "I'm glad you asked me this question.

I just want to prove to you that no matter what you do.

Life

How nervous, you can always find the time to drink beer. "
