Something to share
When things in your life seem almost too much
to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the
mayonnaise jar and the 2 Beers.

egan,
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 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 Beers 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 family, your children, your health, your friends and your favorite passions---and 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.
Spend time with your children. Spend time with your parents. Visit with grandparents. Take your spouse out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house and mow the lawn.
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 Beer represented. The professor smiled and said, 'I'm glad you asked.' The Beer just shows you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of Beers with a friend.

很好的分享
香港電台知名主持人梁繼璋曾給兒子寫過一封信，這封信很快流傳於各大網站，很多父親看後感觸很深，我覺得不只給兒子，其實適合所有人看！
最喜歡最後一句 “無論愛不愛，下輩子都不會再見”。
我兒：寫這備忘錄給你，
基於三個原則：
（一）人生福禍無常，誰也不知可以活多久，
（二）我是你的父親，我不跟你說，沒有人會跟你說。
（三）這備忘錄裡載的，都是我經過慘痛失敗得回來的體驗，
以下，便是你在人生中要好好記住的事：
（一）對你不好的人，你不要太介懷，在你一生中，
（二）沒有人是不可代替，沒有東西是必須擁有。看透了這一點，
（三）生命是短暫的，今日你還在浪費著生命，
（四）世界上並沒有最愛這回事，愛情只是一種霎時的感覺，
（五）雖然很多有成就的人士都沒有受過很多教育，
（六）我不會要求你供養我下半輩子，
（七）你可以要求自己守信，但不能要求別人守信，
（八）我買了十多二十年彩票，還是一窮二白，連三獎也沒有中，
（九）親人只有一次的緣分，無論這輩子我和你會相處多久，
