В Gellert Brasserie в Будапеште на 1й странице меню была такая вот мысль, которая нам всем показалась очень знакомой. Идея понравилась и запомнилась.собственно оно.
Once a famous philosophy professor began one of his lectures by bringing a jar and filling it with rocks of 50mm diameter. He showed it to the students and asked them if the jar was full. The students answered 'yes'. Then professor took a box full og pebble stones, and filled them in the jar as well. As these pieces were smaller, they filled up the space between the rocks. Showing the jar to the students, they meant again that the jar was full now. Afterwards the professor took another box full of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course the sand filled the space between the rocks and stones.
The professor came to the point here by showing jar to the students. He said: "Please, note, this is exactly like your lives. The rocks are the important things, your family, friends, health and kids. If you loose everything else, your life is still liveable. The stones are those things that also count, like your work, home, and cars. Tha sand represents everything else, minor things.
If you fill in the sand first, you have not enough space for the important things any more. Therefore pay attention to the things that are fundamental to your happiness. Care about your family and friends, play with your children, maintain your health, do sports and see your doctor from time to time. Eat healthy, and take out your partner to dance. You still have time to work, clean up and receive guests. Pay attention to the rocks and stones, the things that are really important , first. Set priorities, the rest is just sand."
Later on, one of the students took the jar, which was believed full by the professor and the other students, and poured in a bottle of beer. The beer filled up the space between the sand cornes, and the jar has been filled up now really.
So, what is the consequence of the day after all?
No matter how busy you are, there is still enough space for a bottle of good beer!
