忙不是心死

许久不见的朋友传了这个相当旧的一篇文字，里头算是提醒我们该善于利用及安排本身的时间吧。最近几天忙得不可开交，因为加入新公司需要接受一段时间训练。几乎没什么时间好好休息，回到家也没什么机会写写东西什么的。

没有埋怨什么，只知道说机会来了就该试试。总要牺牲一些东西去得到一些东西。但就像以下文字最后一段写的。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.我不是那种依赖朋友生存的人，但我会很确实的让我身边的朋友知道，无论多忙我始终没把他们给忘记。

A professor stood before his philosophy class and he picked up a very large and empty 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-your spirituality, family, your children, your health, 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 & critical for your happiness....."Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your family out to dinner.

"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."...
