The Mayonnaise Jar


When things in your life seem , almost too much to handle,
When 24 Hours in a day is not enough,
Remember the mayonnaise jar and 2 cups of coffee.

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.

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 a 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 - family,
children, health, Friends, and 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, house, and 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.

So...

Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness.
Play With your children.
Take time to get medical checkups.
Take your partner out to dinner.

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.'

拿别人的错误来掩饰自己的不足

突然,发觉自己一直以来都是这样,变成了爱逃避,逃避面对自己的缺陷,总是在别人身上寻找出别人的缺点,即由他们的缺陷来掩饰自己的不足,什么时候开始,变成了固步自封,哈,怎么啦,一场足球让我有那么多的想法,是为什么突然有这想法呢?长大了?这,我不知道。很多时候,在生活的小小细节,一旦出现了问题,第一个想法都是,这个人怎么这样这样,那个人怎么那样那样,从来都不想想自己是什么样什麽样的,哈哈,就像昨天踢了一场球,输了,都会想这个前锋怎么都那样带球,那个中场怎么那样传球,不想想自己做了什么,过后想回,自己是那么的可笑呢!我想,不只是我也个人是这样吧,应该很多人都和我一样,不然,我可要变成Allien咯,嘻嘻!笑,是因为已经觉悟了,不可以再这样固步自封下去,不是很贴切,用固步自封这词,没办法,想不到更好的形容,点出别人的错误是帮别人进步,要进化自己,就得自我检讨,我,是两点都还没做到的,别人错误,我是在心底暗骂,自己的不足呢,是用暗骂别人的错误来掩盖,这。。。唉!必须彻彻底底的抛开这思想,哈,起码现在发现了这东东,现在开始,学习吧,加油。。。

我,要进化咯~~~

尼克的激勵



他的人生意义,是他自己找回来的,没有手没有脚,靠的是一颗心。我们呢?有手有脚,却在等着,等着别人的施舍,我们得向他看齐呀~~

脚印

不知不觉,我已踏过23个春秋,23年了,窗外的洋槐也无数次的开花凋零,天空的大雁也无数次的为目的地奔波。转眼间,我已爬上了人生的半山腰。仰头望望山顶,云雾缭乱,遥不可及。俯首看看身后,令人感慨万千,在人生坎坷的路上,留下了我一串串深深的脚印。

看,那一串渐进模糊而轻巧的脚印。哦,那是我婴儿时期的步伐。从出生,到蹒跚学步,到哑哑学语,那时的我,也许会安静的坐在婴儿床上睡觉,也许会因不顺心而大哭一场,但大家都不会责备我,在为我操心的同时,又盼望着我的成长。于是,在山脚下留下了一串尚还稚嫩的脚印。

瞧,那一串时深时浅的脚印。哦,那是我幼儿时期的见证。那时的日子是最快乐的。我不会因学习而困扰,不必担心没人和我玩,不用担心做错该怎么办,一切在我眼里都是那样新奇。眼观,手摸,鼻闻,嘴啃,我总是忍不住地去研究身边的每一样的东西。在伙伴群里,无忧无虑的过着每一天。于是在离山脚不远处,留下了我一串快乐的回忆。

看着先行者留下的脚印,似乎在告戒我:前方的路将更坎坷,但这就是人生之路.我将继续地往上爬,身后留下我一串串成长的脚印,从小到大.......

单身男孩

单身男孩的生活,总给人邋遢与放纵的印象。被子从来不叠,臭袜子到处丢,桌上有吃剩的方便面盒,角落里堆满了空酒瓶,地上到处是香烟屁股,在感情方面一片 空白,这些,是我们在电视上常常看到的场景。不知道那些编剧是不是体验过单身男孩的生活,在我看来,事实完全相反。单身男孩是最懂得生活的,哪会如此虐待 自己呢。

单身男孩的屋子很干净,不管是自己买的或者是租的。床上,总是平整地铺着被子,衣服一件件叠起来放在衣柜里,屋里的陈设都很整齐。不会像一些人,买书只是为了显示自己的身份,那些书,全都是他们看过的。

单身男孩对于感情,很沉着。他们可能会表现出暧昧之举动,但决不会轻易去追求,让自己深陷进去。感情对于他们来说,变得不再是那么期待。他们当然不可能是一张白纸,他们只会静静地在一旁,观察认识,看哪个真正适合自己,丰富的过去,让他们在追之前,很理性。

单身男孩,就这样享受着生活,他们在这样的生活中,享受人生中最美好的时光。

做到了

想了好久,讲了好久,这一刻,我终于做到了,可能,大家会觉得只是件很普通的事情,但是,它对我而言,意义匪浅。虽然那只是件再平常不过的计划,“准时睡觉,准时起床,三餐正常,每天,再花两个小时学习,一个小时运动”。是个健康的习惯,也是我梦寐已久的生活。为什么之前不能奉行这生活准则呢?哈,那已经不重要了,重要的是,活在当下。颓废的那段日子已经过去了,现在,我又重新走在路上了,这条路没有尽头,而且还有很多分岔口,但可以肯定的是,我会一直走下去。。
