beautiful things in life

received a meaningful email and thought i would share it here..hmm it made me reflect quite abit aft reading it lar. i mean..sometimes we can be so caught up in our own world, getting frustrated over the nitty gritty stuff tt we fail to see the more impt things in life. so here goes... =]

When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2 cups of coffee.

One day, a professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, he wordlessly 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 an 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--your family, your children, your health, your friends and your favorite passions---and 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, your house and your 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.

"Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your spouse out to dinner. Play another 18. 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."

went to din tai fung with my mom and grandma today for lunch..heh havent been there before cuz the last few times my family went i wasnt free to go with them. had some shrimp fried rice, wanton mee, pork chop and the famous xiao long bao. hmm everything was quite nice lar but i thought the xiao long bao wasnt as nice as most pple made it out to be. oh well..but eating it reminded me of the sino exchange trip to beijing. remembered the time when we ate lots of dumplings for dinner cuz we ordered too much. each of us had like one big plateful of dumplings each and there was so much leftovers tt we gave the rest to the beggars on the streets. =P

aft tt went to shop around for junxin's prezzie. wanted to find her something green and cute so i decided to get a giant turtle soft toy for her. hah it's darn cute lar..so tempted to get the small version for myself.
