Imagine this jar is your life. Take the jar and fill IT with rocks. Is the jeff IT certainly looks that way, doesn't IT well. Now add some pebble smaller than the rocks. Give the jar a shape. The pebble all fit in the spaces. In the jar is the jar for now. Again, IT does seem so. But now let's add some sun. Look, we can fit quite a bit of sand in their can't way. Surely the jar has to be full now, right? Here's a cup of tea. Pour IT slowly. Look at that. IT fits into the jar too. Let's think about this. There's only one job that is the one life you have. It's a life where you can do anything if you spend your time well, the rocks are the most important things in your life, your family, your friends, your health, your hopes and dreams, the pebble, they are the other important things you need to keep your life going, your job, your house, things like that. What about the sand? The sand is all the little of things in life, the annoying things that distract you and take up so much of your time. If you're not careful, what would happen if you put the sand in the jar first, you'd never have room for the pebble, let alone the rocks. In the same way, if you waste your time worrying about all the small things in life, you'll never have time for the things that are really important to you. So concentrate on the important things first. Don't worry about the small stuff. And fifty, that's easy. No matter how busy you are in life, you should always find time to have a cup of tea and a talk with a good friend.

We can fit quite a bit of sand in there, can’t we?Surely the jar has to be full now, right?Here’s a cup of tea.Pour it slowly...Look at that.It fits into the jar, too!Let’s think about this.There’s only one jar:that is the one life you have.It’s a life where you can do anything, if you spend your time well.
The rocks are the most important things in your life:your family, your friends, your health, your hopes and dreams.
The pebbles? They are the other important things you need to keep your life going:your job, your house, things like that. What about the sand? The sand is all the little things in life, the annoying things that distract you and take up so much of your time if you’re not careful.
What would happen if you put the sand in the jar first?You’d never have room for the pebbles, let alone the rocks.In the same way, if you waste your time worrying about all the small things in life, you’ll never have time for the things that are really important to you.
