The Mayonnaise Jar

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 with a friend.’

Please share this with other “Golf Balls”

I just did……

ENJOY EVERY MOMENT OF LIFE

ONE DAY I DECIDED TO QUIT…
I QUIT MY JOB, MY RELATIONSHIP, MY SPIRITUALITY….
I WANTED TO QUIT MY LIFE.
I WENT TO THE WOODS TO HAVE ONE LAST TALK WITH GOD.

“God”, I said. ”Can you give me one good reason not to quit?”

His answer surprised me.


“Look around”, He said. “Do you see the fern and the bamboo?”

“Yes”, I replied.

“When I planted the fern and the bamboo seeds, I took very good care ofthem. I gave them light. I gave them water.The fern quickly grew from the earth. Its brilliant green covered thefloor. Yet nothing came from the bambooseed. But I did NOT quit on the bamboo.

“In the second year the fern grew more vibrant and plentiful. And again,nothing came from the bamboo seed. But Idid NOT quit on the bamboo.

“In year three there was still nothing from the bamboo seed. But I wouldNOT quit. The same in year four.
“Then in the fifth year, a tiny sprout emerged from the earth. Comparedto the fern, it was seemingly small andinsignificant.

“But just six months later, the bamboo rose to over 100 feet tall.

“It had spent the five years growing roots. Those roots made it strong andgave it what it needed to survive. Iwould not give any of my creations a challenge it could not handle.

“Did you know, my child, that all this time you have been struggling, youhave actually been growing roots? I wouldNOT quit on the bamboo.. I will NEVER quit on you.

“Don’t compare yourself to others.” He said. “The bamboo had a differentpurpose than the fern. Yet they both makethe forest beautiful.

“Your time will come”, God said to me.. ”You will rise high”

“How high should I rise?” I asked.

“How high will the bamboo rise?” He asked in return.

“As high as it can?” I questioned

“Yes.” He said,
“Give me glory by rising as high as you can.”

I left the forest, realizing that God will NEVER give up on me.


And He will NEVER give up on you.

NEVER REGRET A DAY IN YOUR LIFE.
GOOD DAYS GIVE YOU HAPPINESS; BAD DAYS GIVE YOU EXPERIENCES.
BOTH ARE ESSENTIAL TO LIFE.
SO ENJOY EVERY MOMENT OF LIFE……………

SOME QUOTES

“Bad habits are like a comfortable bed. Easy to get into, but hard to get out of.”
“The difficulties we experience always illuminate the lessons we need most.”
“If you want a place in the sun, you have to expect some blisters.”
“Silence has to be a strategy, not a refuge. A weapon and not an escape.”
“Life is not about growing up or growing old. It’s about making sure you never stop growing.”
“People who spend time on propagating their present achievements, will not find time to grow beyond their current levels.”

Dreaming for dreams

Dream; an obvious source of all the achievements, decisive step for happiness, journey of enjoyment, booster for challenging persons; requires one’s practical nature in order to exhibit its real meaning.Learning is essentially the chemical change in man mind’s protein molecules. It doesn’t mean that one can learn more by having food that contains huge amount of protein ingredients. Instead, it is the chemical change, which decides actual knowledge. Obviously a meaningful dream is the positive catalyst for this chemical change. Good dreamer takes ‘learning’ as lifelong process.One-day dream, one-week dream, one-month dream and one-year dream can be the different forms of dream. All these together constitute the dream of life, which we take it as life ambition.One can get through a dream, which is relevant to only him successfully according to his schedule. A dream related to person and society asks patience. Dreamer gets defeated if he dreams blindly. Dream that is constructed using only one’s ability; desire and strategy will bring him sure success.Helen Keller who by birth was deaf, dumb and blind woman proved that dreams are not only for normal people but also for physically challenged persons. After learning a communicating course by name ‘TADOMA’ she wrote excellent books. She was awarded Honours Degree. Whole world is proud of her. (‘TADOMA’ course is used in recent Hindi movie ‘BLACK’ where Amitabh Bachchan teaches lessons to Rani Mukharjee. According to this course physically challenged person communicates with others by putting his fingers on the lips of speaker.)Few persons may not complete their dreams within right time due to many reasons though they have sufficient ability. After getting through his dream, if one is able to manage his time, if he is really interested and has strength, then he can bring the ocean of happiness to his well wishers by completing their dreams without disturbing their principles. Since human has nature of forgetting, it is better to begin or to complete the dreams of his well wishers on memorable moments like father’s dream on ‘FATHERS DAY’, mother’s dream on ‘MOTHERS DAY’, sister’s dream on ‘RAKSHA BANDHAN’ festival, brother’s dream on ‘DASARA’ festival and friend’s dream on ‘FRIENDSHIP DAY’. Otherwise he can follow his own schedule. If he feels that his strength has to be incremented yet, he can realize the happiness of ‘strenuous person’ by putting his ‘squirrel service’.For the people who are very eager to achieve something in life and don’t know that ‘something’ clearly, our ancients and old people have been saying that until and unless we get self confidence it is good to go on dreaming for dreams

Dont be a duck..Be an eagle

Dont be a duck..Be an eagleNo one can make you serve customers well. That`s because great service is a choice.Years ago, Harvey Mackay, (Business Motivational Speaker & Inspirational Quotes - Harvey Mackay)told a wonderful story about a cab driver that proved this point. Hewas waiting in line for a ride at the airport. When a cab pulled up,the first thing Harvey noticed was that the taxi was polished to abright shine. Smartly dressed in a white shirt, black tie, and freshlypressed black slacks, the cab driver jumped out and rounded the car toopen the back passenger door for Harvey. He handed him a laminated cardand said:`I`m Wally, your driver. While I`m loading your bags in the trunk I`dlike you to read my mission statement.` Taken aback, Harvey read thecard. It said:Wally`s Mission Statement:To get my customers to their destination in the quickest, safest and cheapest way possible in a friendly environment.This blew Harvey away. Especially when he noticed that the inside ofthe cab matched the outside. Spotlessly clean! As he slid behind thewheel, Wally said, `Would you like a cup of coffee? I have a thermos ofregular and one of decaf.`Harvey said jokingly, `No, I`d prefer a soft drink.`Wally smiled and said, `No problem. I have a cooler up front with regular and Diet Coke, water and orange juice.`Almost stuttering, Harvey said, `I`ll take a Diet Coke.`Handing him his drink, Wally said, `If you`d like something to read, Ihave The Wall Street Journal, Time, Sports Illustrated and USA Today.`As they were pulling away, Wally handed him another laminated card.`These are the stations I get and the music they play, if you`d like tolisten to the radio.`And as if that weren`t enough, Wally told Harvey that he had the airconditioning on and asked if the temperature was comfortable for him.Then he advised Harvey of the best route to his destination for thattime of day. He also let him know that he`d be happy to chat and tellhim about some of the sights or, if Harvey preferred, to leave him withhis own thoughts.`Tell me, Wally,` Harvey asked the driver, `have you always served customers like this?`Wally smiled into the rearview mirror. `No, not always. In fact, it’sonly been in the last two years. My first five years driving, I spentmost of my time complaining like all the rest of the cabbies do. Then I heard the personal growth guru, Wayne Dyer, on the radio oneday. He had just written a book called You`ll See It When You BelieveIt. Dyer said that if you get up in the morning expecting to have a badday, you`ll rarely disappoint yourself.He said, `Stop complaining! Differentiate yourself from yourcompetition. Don`t be a duck. Be an eagle. Ducks quack and complain.Eagles soar above the crowd.```That hit me right between the eyes,` said Wally. `Dyer was reallytalking about me. I was always quacking and complaining, so I decidedto change my attitude and become an eagle. I looked around at the othercabs and their drivers. The cabs were dirty, the drivers wereunfriendly, and the customers were unhappy. So I decided to make somechanges. I put in a few at a time. When my customers responded well, Idid more.``I take it that has paid off for you,` Harvey said. `It sure has,`Wally replied. `My first year as an eagle, I doubled my income from theprevious year. This year I`ll probably quadruple it. You were lucky toget me today. I don`t sit at cabstands anymore. My customers call mefor appointments on my cell phone or leave a message on my answeringmachine. If I can`t pick them up myself, I get a reliable cabbie friendto do it and I take a piece of the action.`Wally was phenomenal. He was running a limo service out of a Yellow Cab. Harvey probably told that story to more than fifty cab drivers over the years, and only two took the idea and ran with it. WheneverHarvey went to their cities, he would give them a call. The rest of the drivers quacked like ducks and told him all the reasons they couldn`t do any of what he was suggesting.Johnny the Bagger and Wally the Cab Driver made a different choice.They decided to stop quacking like ducks and start soaring like eagles.How about you? Apply it in your own businesses and homes and see the change around you.Where Eagles Dare
