This story is from an email i recieved from one of my frnds. As i was about to forward it, i thought putting it on blog will open it up to more readers. This story tells us how to handle too many thing in our life.
--------------
A 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 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 an unanimous 'yes.'
The professor then produced Two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents Into the jar, effectivelyFilling 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 - God, family, children, health, friends, and 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, house, and 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.
So...
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.
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 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 cup of coffee with a friend.'

wow! what a scene. india competing with ireland for the last place among 8. congrats to dhoni for continung his form. actually complete team india deserves the pat.
though it was not astonishing to see india bat like that but bowling and fielding was even worse than that 2 days before. in all, dhoni and co deserved this defeat.
this time bad batting, bowling and fielding was combined with some funny changes in the side. though comeback of RP was expected but not in the place of bast performer of last match(irfan 2-0-9-1) thereby losing one batsman also, and that was fulfilled by bringing in rookie ravindra jadeja, who later scripted the defeat of india. i'm sure these funny replacements were brought by out of form/mind dhoni.
it was disappointing to see misfields from the likes of yuvraj, raina, rohit and dhoni. unfortunately zaheer was also out of colour, and ishant, well i dont expect anything from ishant who should hv been at the bench today.
well! one last game and good thing is that india will not be under any pressure.

So the first quality clash for india in this tournament and the lamb of inside has started peeping out of our indian lions.

Excitement goes up when one starts sth new. Badminton is not that new to me but regular badminton is as its been 3 days since i'm regularly beating the cock arse at the rate of 2 hrs a day. and alongwith the excitement its one more thing that is high and that is pain in legs and right shoulder. badminton is really a bad game.
