The Last Person.....

[Carol]

I don't want to be old and say " I should have......."

I went to music school (instead of engineering school) for the same reasons.

a person is rich or poor, not by what he earns in this life- but by the number of accomplishments,, friends, memories and how many lives he has touched

 

[kuntawguro]

you are poor if you fail to live up to what you could do or can do

 

[kuntawguro]

have you ever heard the story of the rocks in the jar?

 

[Carol]

Responsibly, yes.

 

[kuntawguro]

have you ever heard the story of the rocks in the jar?

[Carol]

A professor got up in front of his class and placed a large glass jar on his desk- he asked
Is this jar full?
Yes one of his students said- full of air
That is right, now he pulled out a box of rocks and proceeded to fill the jar with rocks " is it full now?
Yes another student said, full of rocks. "no, you are wrong the professor said and he pulled out a box of pebbles and proceeded to fill the remaining spaces in the jar with those pebble. "Is it full now?" no there is still room in the jar said one of his students. " you are correct" he then pulled a box of sand and proceeded to empty the box of sand into the jar.
"so, what have we learned " he asked
Matter occupies space replied one of his students - "NO, YOU HAVE MISSED THE POINT OF THIS THE PROFESSOR SAID
The rocks represent the important things in your life, family friends , your health and well being,. The pebbles are the little things in life- what kind of car you drive, what you eat, and what you wear. The sand are the incidentals. Partying, going to the mall etc. If you fill your jar with sand- there is no room for the rocks- class dismissed
