When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, I have something to share with, a little story that I've red from my email early this morning. It is the story of the mayonnaise jar and the 2 glasses of wine theory...
A professor stood before his philosophy class with some items on his
desk 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 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 glasses of wine 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 favourite passions; 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 good things that are important to you.
Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play
with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your partner
out to dinner. Play another 18 holes. Do one more run down the ski slope.
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."
One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the wine
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 glasses of wine with a friend."

Three Things in life that can destroy a MAN.
WINE, PRIDE, & ANGER
WINE
Yes, WINE or any alcoholic drinks...true to me because one time when i got drunk i found myself unlocking a girls room door on my dormitory. And according to those who saw me i left my slipper on the the stairs on 3rd floor before i went up to 4th floor, where the girls room are located. Thats one of my embarrasing moment as of this year. And that destroy my dignity here especially to those who are secretly admires me (as if, meron)...hehehe
PRIDE
In our life sometimes we need or we must swallow our PRIDE, especially to us, OFW. Yun bang kailangan mong iaccept ang kahit ano para lang sa pamilya at sa mga mahal mo sa buhay. When i first flew, way back 2003, and as a graduate of an engineering course, mahirap tanggapin na magiging operator ka at mahirap din yung ikaw yung inuutusan, pero kailangan mong i-step aside ang pride at education mo just for the future & security of your family. Marami sa ating OFW ay graduate, pero sa hirap ng buhay sa pilipinas ay napipilitang magtrabaho sa mga blue collar job sa ibang bansa, for the sake of... better life & love for the family. But then as you grow older hindi pala dapat na laging ganon, you need to learn & realize na someway somehow kailangan mo ng changes, kaya kung may maipapakita kang talino, talento at sipag ipakita mo para sa next level of your life.
ANGER
ANGER, galit, sama ng loob, pare-pareho lang yan. Pag pinagpatuloy mo ang ganyang ugali at asal baka lang maaga kang mamatay dala ng STROKE. I remember a story on my old town in Batangas, nang dahil sa lupa nagkaroon ng samaan ng loob ang magkakapatid na ikinamatay ng isa dahil sa hindi pantay na hatiaan. Kaya folks imbes na magtanim ng galit, poot, at sama ng loob sa kapwa, magjoin ka na lang sa advocate ni lordcm on smiling. Hindi lang nakakawala ng stress ang pagsmile, bagkus nakakatulong pa itong ixercise ang atin mukha.
