The  Mayonnaise Jar and 2 Cups of Coffee When  things in your lives seem almost too much to handle, when 24  hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2 cups of  coffee. A  professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of  him. When the class began , 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 an 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 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. 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 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.' more often turn down others saying we that dont have time, or its just our attitude towards invitations that does not appeal to us i think its time to assess what really matters....ayt?

The Quarter-Life Crisis

It is when you stop going along with the crowd and start realizing that there are a lot of things about yourself that you didn't know and may or may not like. You start feeling insecure and wonder where you will be in a year or two, but then get scared because you barely know where you are now.

You start realizing that people are selfish and that, maybe, those friends that you thought you were so close to aren't exactly the greatest people you have ever met and the people you have lost touch with are some of the most important ones. What you do not realize is that they are realizing that too and are not really cold or catty or mean or insincere, but that they are as confused as you.

You look at your job. It is not even close to what you thought you would be doing or maybe you are looking for one and realizing that you are going to have to start at the bottom and are scared.

You miss the comforts of college, of groups, of socializing with the same people on a constant basis. But then you realize that maybe they weren't so great after all.

You are beginning to understand yourself and what you want and do not want. Your opinions have gotten stronger. You see what others are doing and find yourself judging a bit more than usual because suddenly you realize that you have certain boundaries in your life and add things to your list of what is acceptable and what is not. You are insecure and then secure. You laugh and cry with the greatest force of your life. You feel alone and scared and confused. Suddenly change is the enemy and you try and cling on to the past with dear life but soon realize that the past is drifting further and further away and there is nothing to do but stay where you are or move forward.

You get your heart broken and wonder how someone you loved could do such damage to you or you lay in bed and wonder why you can't meet anyone decent enough to get to know better. You love someone but maybe love someone else too and cannot figure out why you are doing this because you are not a bad person.

One night stands and random hook ups start to look cheap and getting wasted and acting like an idiot starts to look pathetic. You go through the same emotions and questions over and over and talk with your friends about the same topics because you cannot seem to make a decision.

You worry about loans and money and the future and making a life for yourself and while wining the race would be great, right now you'd just like to be a contender!

What you may not realize is that everyone reading this relates to it. We are in our best of times and our worst of times, trying as hard as we can to figure this whole thing out.

From Wikipedia:

Characteristics of quarter-life crisis may include:

• feeling "not good enough" because one can't find a job that is at one's academic/intellectual level
• frustration with relationships, the working world, and finding a suitable job or career
• confusion of identity
• insecurity regarding the near future
• insecurity concerning long-term plans, life goals
• insecurity regarding present accomplishments
• re-evaluation of close interpersonal relationships
• disappointment with one's job
• nostalgia for university, college, high school or elementary school life
• tendency to hold stronger opinions
• boredom with social interactions
• loss of closeness to high school and college friends
• financially-rooted stress (overwhelming college loans, unanticipatedly high cost of living, etc.)
• loneliness
• desire to have children
• a sense that everyone is, somehow, doing better than you

tinamaan ka ano???

decide by yourself

Here's a hypothetical situation that would test your decision-making ability. This situation is very relevant to our present social life, especially we tend to side with the majority, even when it may be wrong.

A group of children were playing near two railway tracks, one still in use while the other disused. Only one child played on the disused track, the rest on the operational track.
The train is coming, and you are just beside the track interchange. You can make the train change its course to the disused track and save most of the kids. However, that would also mean the lone child playing by the disused track would be sacrificed. Or would you rather let the train go its way?
Let's take a pause to think what kind of decision we could make................

Scroll down.....................

Most people might choose to divert the course of the train, and sacrifice only one child. You might think the same way, I guess. Exactly, I thought the same way initially because to save most of the children at the expense of only one child was rational decision most people would make, morally and emotionally. But, have you ever thought that the child choosing to play on the disused track had in fact made the right decision to play at a safe place?

Nevertheless, he had to be sacrificed because of his ignorant friends who chose to play where the danger was. This kind of dilemma happens around us everyday. In the office, community, in politics and especially in a democratic society, the minority is often sacrificed for the interest of the majority, no matter how foolish or ignorant the majority are, and how farsighted and knowledgeable the minority are. The child who chose not to play with the rest on the operational trac was sidelined. And in the case he was sacrificed, no one would shed a tear for him.

The great critic Leo Velski Julian who told the story said he would not try to change the course of the train because he believed that the kids playing on the operational track should have known very well that track was still in use, and that they should have run away if they heard the train's sirens. If the train was diverted, that lone child would definitely die because he never thought the train could come over to that track! Moreover, that track was not in use probably because it was not safe. If the train was diverted to the track, we could put the lives of all passengers on board at stake! And in your attempt to save a few kids by sacrificing one child, you might end up sacrificing hundreds of people to save these few kids.

While we are all aware that life is full of tough decisions that need to be made, we may not realize that hasty decisions may not always be the right one.

"Remember that what's right isn't always popular... and what's popular isn't always right."

Everybody makes mistakes; that's why they put erasers on pencils.

smile BIG!
