21/11/2012 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 andpoured 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
