Aren't company holiday parties great?
I was talking to a friend about our lives. We're both quite busy. I was reminding her that there is always time to party. This reminded me of something I learned in my 'touchy feely' religion class in high school.
My teacher went to the front of the room where he had the following items on the table: a large jar, a pile of large rocks, a pile of pebbles, a pile of sand, and two beers.
He asked us in which order we should add the items to ensure that they all fit into the jar. He acted as we directed and first placed the large rocks inside, then the pebbles, then poured the sand. With a quick shake, everything seemed to fit. He finished by pouring the beers in as well.
When we asked why he did this, he explained that the jar is a symbol that represents our life. The large rocks are the important things, such as family, the pebbles are the less important things, such as career, and the sand represents the small nit-picky things in life. If you focus on the sand first, the big rocks wont fit.
Of course we followed with a question about the beer, and he said that no matter how full our life seems, there is always room for a couple beers.
