Mayonnaise Jar the story of life
1
A friend e-mailed the following story titled A Mayonnaise Jar and 2

Cups of Coffee and the story goes like this. A professor stood before his
philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began,
he picked up a 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
5

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. Again the students agreed with him that the jar was full. Then,
he poured sand into the jar and the students responded with a unanimous
Yes!
2
The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and
poured the 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 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, there is no room for the pebbles
and 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.

7
He paused and continued, 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 for dinner. There will always be time to clean the
house. 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, Im glad you asked. It just goes to show
you that no matter how full your life may seem, theres always room for a
couple of cups of coffee with a friend.
After reading this interesting and provocative story, my mind flew to a
teacher whom I knew from a few years ago. This teacher used to tell me that
he hated teaching.
I dont know what it is about this profession that people seem to like so
much! he would exclaim. It is a boring, mundane, routine and a totally
ridiculous job. Day in day out, we chase after students and force them to
learn so that they can pass some exams. We stuff facts down their throat,
facts they neither like nor care for. We keep wanting them to get higher
grades but they hate it! Wheres the joy in teaching?
This man would say all the above and more yet never left the profession.
In fact, for all that he said and did, he actually did more than he said. He was
a good teacher. He was ruthlessly direct but courageously creative in his
teaching methods. His students navigated round his rough ways and got the
best from him. He was, in their eyes, never the sand nor the pebbles but
always the golf balls. They took care of this golf ball and managed to care
less about his acid tongue and more about what they could cull from him.
