The mayonnaise jar and coffee
|
Ovo sam dobila mailom danas iz Australie od moje po svijetu razasute rodbine. Prvi put čitam i moram podijeliti s vama. Pa evo... *************** 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 coffee... 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 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 infamous "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 faith, your health, your friends, and 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. 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 partner 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." ******************* Mene je taklo. Nasmiješilo, uz ono obavezno- pa da, tako je. Prebrzo živimo i stalno nešto tražimo, a sve što nam zaista treba je tu kraj nas.  |

Sklona porocima    System up with the top down Got the city on lockdown Drive by in the low ride Hands high when we fly by (Blue)  Kao da plivam protiv rijeke lakše bi bilo pustit se u more istih-istima ova je kuća puna sunca ove su ruke pune zvijezda moje je, moje je moje je ime drukčija tako se dobro osjećam to sam ja i neću nego biti ja moje je ime drukčija postoji nebo razloga to sam ja ja sam – drukčija (Putokazi) Late at night You're taking me home You say you wanna stay But I want you to go Say I don't love you But you know I'm a liar 'Cause when we kiss Ooh... Fire  (Des'ree) a u kosi nam žive sjećanja, uspomene smo skrili među pramenove Proust, ništa originalno trenutak... i miris velike količine netom opranog rublja ti i ja na katu iznad vešeraja sasvim slučajno hej, pa gdje si ti? rasprše se misli dok nestaje međuprostor kad isprepletu se prsti Jer ima izgubljenog vremena za kojim se nikad neće krenuti u potragu svim trenucima usprkos  skidam jutros plavu jastučnicu ispirem sjećanje na još jedan san ionako je premalo jastučnica za sve naše snove da ih sve i bacim ostaje tek besana noć i blijedo sjećanje na zbunjenost koju smo si davno već oprostili  sama na stijeni prkosim buri gledam niz cestu i čekam tebe dođi što kasnije stijena bura i cesta pričaju mi nevjerojatne priče ništa mi ne treba samo vrijeme oni što me znaju otišli su između redova ostala sam sama odbijam se povući ali ne znam koliko će me koštati sjećanje |
