When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a verylarge 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.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar.  He shook the jar lightly and 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.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;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 a unanimous "Yes."&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;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.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"Now," said the professor, as the laughter subsided, "I want you to recognise that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things. Your family, your children, your faith, your health, your friends, and your favourite passions; things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.The pebbles are the other things that matter; your job, your house, andyour car.The sand is everything else; the small stuff.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;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. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your partner out to dinner.  &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;There will always be time to clean the house and fix the waste 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. "I'm glad you asked. It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend."&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;

The goal was to reach the top of a very high tower.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A big crowd had gathered around the tower to see the race and cheer on the contestants...The race began...Honestly: No one in the crowd really believed that the tiny frogs would reach the top of the tower.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You heard statements such as: "Oh, WAY too difficult!!They will NEVER make it to the top." or: "Not a chance that they will succeed. The tower is too high! "The tiny frogs began collapsing. One by one...... Except for those who in a fresh tempo were climbing higher and higher...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The crowd continued to yell "It is too difficult!!! No one will make it!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More tiny frogs got tired and gave up... ... But ONE continued higher and higher and higher... This one wouldn't give up!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the end everyone else had given up climbing the tower. Except for the one tiny frog who after a big effort was the only one who reached the top! THEN all of the other tiny frogs naturally wanted to know how this one frog managed to do it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A contestant asked the tiny frog how the one who succeeded had found the strength to reach the goal? It turned out...That the winner was DEAF!!!! The wisdom of this story is: Never listen to other people's tendencies to be negative or pessimistic......cause they take your most wonderful dreams and wishes away from you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The ones you have in your heart! Always think of the power words have.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because everything you hear and read will affect your actions!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#006600;"&gt;Therefore:       ALWAYS be...POSITIVE!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;And above all: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Be DEAF when people tell YOU that YOU can not fulfil YOUR dreams! Always think: I can do this...!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29921163-115981019644332052?l=rsnambiar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rsnambiar.blogspot.com/feeds/115981019644332052/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=29921163&amp;postID=115981019644332052&amp;isPopup=true' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29921163/posts/default/115981019644332052'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29921163/posts/default/115981019644332052'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rsnambiar.blogspot.com/2006/10/positive-attitude.html' title='Positive Attitude'/><author><name>R Sandeep Nambiar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14958500418292123854</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29921163.post-115980955669084335</id><published>2006-10-02T22:41:00.000+05:30</published><updated>2006-10-02T22:49:16.706+05:30</updated><title type='text'>Love Match</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3309/3199/1600/scope.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3309/3199/400/scope.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why don't you use this chart to find your match with your loved one ?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29921163-115980955669084335?l=rsnambiar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rsnambiar.blogspot.com/feeds/115980955669084335/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=29921163&amp;postID=115980955669084335&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29921163/posts/default/115980955669084335'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29921163/posts/default/115980955669084335'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rsnambiar.blogspot.com/2006/10/love-match.html' title='Love Match'/><author><name>R Sandeep Nambiar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14958500418292123854</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
