tensed emotions Countdown to that hot day in Pasir RIs Park = 5 days and yeah everybody is super tensed!! Including me!! There are loads to be done and at this crucial moment, could felt that everybody is like going all the way out to ensure it is a sucesss! Jiayou to all comrades. Countdown to 19th april, aka counting down to tessa birthday as well!! Tea Party today was urm, alittle boring today LOL!! I find that it would have been better if they could have just settle it within that camp! Partially I was half awake cause I stayed up late to watch soccer. MAN U won whee and owen hargreaves free kick so remind me of the beckham days lol!! Anyway HTM is just so rah rah, that is a random statement!! A short story to share which I find it super meaningful. Kudos to Grandpa Ping Sheng as what he calls himself in the email!! THE STORY 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 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 --- your faith, your family, your children, your health, your friends, and 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, 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 partner 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.' With the new sem coming and so many upcoming activities, I guess this story really teaches us to set our own priorities.CHOING ALL THE WAY MAN |
