- YoThisBAlec, on 01/20/2009, -3/+193A 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. So 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 an unanimous "yes." The professor then produced two cans of beer 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, your favorite 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, 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. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your spouse out to dinner. Play another 18. 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 beer 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 beers." - Vicelord, on 01/19/2009, -0/+130Real men finish their beers first
- BeShirtHappy, on 01/19/2009, -0/+89Well you got to have your priorities ...
- kplo, on 04/01/2009, -0/+80That's a serious endorsement.
"Who cares if you lost 200 pounds eating Subway? I got stabbed while drinking Harp, and I made sure to finish the last drop." - FattyCorpuscle, on 01/20/2009, -0/+55"Witnesses report that the man refused a chair, instead choosing sit on his own gargantuan testicles."
- tastypaste, on 01/19/2009, -0/+44I want to know what brand of beer was that good.
- MelvinSchlubman, on 01/20/2009, -0/+42Beer IS medical attention.
- Ender008, on 01/20/2009, -0/+38This is amazing--thanks for the laugh.
- ZakColeman, on 01/20/2009, -0/+34Reminds me of the time my dad cut his finger off with the saw, drove himself to the hospital and stopped to get the newspaper on the way down the driveway, so he could "have something to read" in the long wait at the E.R. - lol, I miss that man.
- WordsnCollision, on 01/19/2009, -4/+33Was his name Bob McKenzie?
- iliketowin, on 01/19/2009, -0/+29Good for him.
- Shaggy3, on 01/20/2009, -0/+29Whoa. My Philosophy class sucked.
- XeRoX2k2, on 01/19/2009, -2/+25see it's not a concern, when you have free health care!
- benroy, on 01/20/2009, -0/+23Something tells me that this isn't the first time he's been stabbed.
- EMFK, on 01/19/2009, -0/+22Would've been beer abuse if he hadn't.
- inactive, on 01/19/2009, -2/+23Now that's a commitment.
- musicology, on 01/20/2009, -0/+17Dugg for "...and the victim was uncooperative with police."
- inactive, on 01/20/2009, -0/+17Wow, that was incredibly insightful. And funny.
- publishcron, on 01/20/2009, -1/+17Since it's in Edmonton, I can pretty much guarantee he's a hockey player
- KittySpark1es, on 01/20/2009, -3/+19Pabst's Blue Stabbin
- Hodor, on 01/19/2009, -4/+20Wonder if he was a hockey player, hockey players are tough.
- MicrosoftAccess, on 01/20/2009, -0/+16May he be a badass wherever he may be.
- muleskinner, on 01/20/2009, -0/+15That was the coolest thing I've ever read on digg. Thanks for that, seriously.
- Chjoma10, on 01/20/2009, -0/+15Somebody get that guy another beer
- IDiggJenn, on 01/19/2009, -1/+13who wouldnt?...in this time of economic hardship...you better finish yours beer
- EmitStop, on 01/20/2009, -0/+12I think you mean, MAN MAKES MANLY DECISION!
- SheehanMay, on 01/20/2009, -0/+10WHOOOO EDMONTON
- Nboy514, on 01/20/2009, -2/+11Clearly Canadian
- publishcron, on 01/20/2009, -2/+11Oh god, here we go again.
- hawkdude56, on 01/20/2009, -1/+9I found this pretty funny, being Canadian and a hockey player.
- LongAuger, on 01/20/2009, -0/+8The Oilers were probably playing at the time. Takes a lot more than a slight stabbing to get a Canadian to stop drinking beer and watching hockey.
- po43292, on 01/20/2009, -0/+8You have no future.
- Dohko_Xar, on 01/20/2009, -0/+8Best anecdote ever. One of those to remember for life.
- CalgaryJohn, on 01/20/2009, -0/+7A man stabbed at the York hotel in Edmonton....surprise, surprise.
- onishenko, on 01/20/2009, -0/+7It was at the York Hotel (a dirty hotel in a no-so-nice area of Edmonton), therefore it was probably Lucky Lager or some other cheap pisswater.
- alexsk8ca, on 01/20/2009, -9/+16I don't really get how people think we have "free healthcare". We just don't have a choice we have to pay for it, not only ours but other peoples. Sure it's good for some people who can't afford it, but those who never use the medical system except for emergencies are paying for all the people who go every time they have a runny nose. In fact some older people go to the hospital because they have nothing better to do and no one to talk to.
- Onoskelis, on 01/20/2009, -0/+7Alberta is not in England.
- inactive, on 01/20/2009, -0/+7wasted beer = alcohol abuse
- Shipyaad, on 01/20/2009, -0/+5I told you I was hardcore.
- GothAlice, on 01/20/2009, -0/+6*stab* Aeeeyup. *sips beer* Just gonna' be one of those nights. *sips beer*
- inactive, on 01/20/2009, -0/+6Take off, hosers.
- adml_shake, on 01/20/2009, -1/+6Platinum Man Card for life approved.
- system5y, on 01/20/2009, -3/+8REEEEAAAAAAAALL MMEEEENN OOOFF GEEEEENNNNIOOOOSSS!!
- norcalbudz, on 01/20/2009, -0/+5Not finishing your beer is a huge party foul.
- hellofromhawaii, on 01/20/2009, -1/+6Actually, as manly as that sounds, it really isn't something you'd want, or want to see.
Come on...now you know you wanna....
http://www.lionden.com/elephantiasis2.gif - inactive, on 01/20/2009, -0/+5That's awesome, bro. Thanks for sharing.
- Azerael, on 01/20/2009, -1/+6The correct terminology is tl;dr.
- ChileanGoD, on 01/20/2009, -0/+4What do they say about the cannot be unseen thing again...
- inactive, on 01/20/2009, -1/+5If he wasn't drinking a beer he would have been anyway after being stabbed.
- kelmaster1, on 01/20/2009, -0/+4ya, in America (especially rape-me New York), if he said anything they'd probably require him to go to the hospital, pay the emergency services people $5000 for a 15 min ride... It's a ***** scam of a business.
