Mayo and Beer

Here is a great piece that I first saw on Delicios, then saw again on stumbleupon. Thought everyone here might like it too since great works and articles like this tend to get buried. I love that last part too. There's always room for a couple of beers. Remember that, it is so true.

Now that's a cool philosophy of life. So so true. If you haven't clicked on the link and read Mayo and Beer DO SO now. You will love it, I promise.

Gilligan, fan of the Island I see? Ever wonder how the Professor can make engines, steam power, solar power, equipment, wood cars and he can't or couldn't design a damned boat? lol They could have got off that Island long ago. I think he was doing Ginger and didn't want to leave. His line " Am I not the most intelligent and handsome man on the Island? I can hear his bs now.

You're right it is a great way at looking at life. Reminds me of that half empty or half full glass of water. I prefer to think that the glass is simply half the size needed, but that's another story.

Fill your life with those bog golf balls first is the lesson. So so so true.

I absolutely love the philosophy. For those of you that don't like to click links - here it is:

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 beer.



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. So 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

cans of beer 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, your 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, your house, 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 beer

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 beers."

I actually saw this on StumbleUpon. Great Philososphy professor. Why couldn't my profs be as intelligent?

Anything with Beer in it has my vote. It is a cool philosophy though. One thing on it is if your job is just a pebble, your life would see mrather non-eventful as we tend to work 8 plus hours a day. That's one damned big pebble if you ask me.

Beautiful and puts life into perspective I'd say. Except I would substitue the beer for weed. Although I don't know how that would work with the jar. :)

Nice philosophy to live by. I think I used up a lot of my short life thus far on the sand.

Poor little Stewie. It's the balls you need to concentrate on. Get to it before your life passes you by.
