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 fills 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 COPYRIGHTDMCA and poured it into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The COPYRIGHTDMCA 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 - God, 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 COPYRIGHTDMCA are the things that matter like your job, house, and car. The sand is everything else -- the small stuff. he said.
If you put the sand into the jar first, he continued, There is no room for the COPYRIGHTDMCA 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... he told them.
So... pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Worship with your family. Play with your children. Take your partner out to dinner. Spend time with good friends. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the dripping tap. 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. 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.
Nice share Adrena.
So tru! But sometimes my life is as if the mayonnaise never left the jar!

For a second there I thought Adrena was discussing in layman's nonequilibrium molecular dynamics

Lunch with Loonies -- Round #1
Pick 3 numbers from 1-400
Check the board for available numbers:
Link to Gotvapes Game Board!
Colored cells are taken.
Winning number(s) are chosen via Random.org at game end.
The Prize: 3, 10 ml juice and ? ?
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = == = = =
A 'liked' post does not mean you've got that number (or that you yourself are even liked). The first person to pick a number gets that number whether it's marked on the board or not. When we 'Like' your picks that means one of the five helpers are marking them on the board. If there are any mistakes/conflicts, we will reply to your post. So check back a while after you pick to see if we noted any problems.
Please do not edit your pick posts.
If someone already took your number, please wait for a helper to post the error. Please "Reply With Quote" to the helper's post with your new pick.
A helper will announce a new round of picks at random times, so check back often and keep track of what round you've already made picks in.
