(its frwd msg but was too intersting not to share
When things in your life seem, almost too much to handle, When 24 Hours in a day is not enough, Remember the mayonnaise jar and 2 cups of coffee.
A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly, He 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 a 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 - family, children, health, Friends, and Favorite 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 like your job, house, and 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.
So...
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.
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. '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 .

Hey..friends..just wanted to share this........
Friendship is not about “I m sorry “ its about “abbe teri galti hai “ Friendship is not about “I m there for u” or “I missed u “ it’s about “kahan marr gaya saale “ Friendship is not about “I understand “ its about “sab teri wajah se hua manhus“ Friendship is not about “I care for u “ its about “kamino tumhe chhod ke kahan jaunga “ Friendship is not about “I m happy for ur success “its about “chal party de saale“ Friendship is not about “I love that girl“ its about “saalo izzat se dekho tumhari bhabhi hain “ Friendship is not about “R u coming for outing tomorrow “ its about “ nautanki nahi, hum kal bahar ja rahe hai “ Friendship is not about “Get well soon “ its about “ Itna piyega toh yehi hoga“ Friendship is not about “All the best for ur career“ its about “ bahut hua, abhi toh switch mar saale“
Keep Smiling......
Everything in life is temporary. Darkness of the night; or a bright day Even sunrise is temporary; so is sunset.
So if things are going good, enjoy it because it won't last forever. And if things are going bad, don't worry. Because it won't last forever either.
Everything passes by. Start your meaningful day with your pleasant smile..
