One of Ronald's favorite quotes is:"A Mayonnaise Jar
When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar.
A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, he wordlessly 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 ...Expand for more
sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous 'yes.'
'Now,' said the professor, 'I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things; God, your family, your children, your health, your friends and your favorite passions. 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 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. Make time for God; spend time with your parents and grandparents. Visit with your brothers and sisters. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your spouse out to dinner. Play another 18 holes. 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.".
