  • Is this jar full?

  • - Yes. - Yeah.

  • Is it full now?

  • - Yes. - Yeah.

  • And how about now, is the jar full now?

  • - Yes. - Yeah.

  • Now I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life.

  • (The) Golf balls are the important thingsyour family, your friends, your health, and your passions.

  • The pebbles are the other important thingsyour car, your... your job, your home.

  • The sand is everything else; it's just the small stuff.

  • Now, if you put the sand in the jar first, you won't have room for the pebbles or the golf balls.

  • The same is true in life.

  • If you spend all your energy and your time on the small stuff,

  • you won't have time for all the really important things that matter to you.

  • Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness.

  • Take care of the golf balls first.

  • The really important things.

  • Set your priorities.

  • Because everything else is... it's just sand.

  • Yes.

  • Uh... Professor, what does... what does the beer represent?

  • I'm glad you asked.

  • It goes to show that no matter how full your life may seem to be, there's always room for a couple of beers with a friend.

Good afternoon, everyone.
