A teacher was before his class,holding a big empty jar. He them filled the jar with small rocks.He asked his students if the jar was now full.Yes,responded his students.He then added small gravel that dispersed between the small stones.Is it full now?...He then explained that the stones can represent what is important in life; family,children,couple,health and the small gravel could be seen as the less important stuff like your job,car,martial art whatever,things that count but are not of the prime importance. He then proceded to add fine sand to the mix,it filled all the little gaps between the rocks ,gravel and sand peebles. The sand is all that is the less important in life.Think of all the things that make you loose your times...Suddenly,one student took the jar opened it and pourred a whole can of beer into it!...He said " nevermind how much you think your life is full,there is always room for a beer!...;)
