Wordlessly he pick up already large and empty jar of mayonnaise and proceeded to fill in red rocks. About two inches in diameter. ER the students if the jar was full. It was. So they can pick up a box of marbles and pebbles them into the Jack. He shook the jar lightly . The marbles of cars rolled into the open areas between the rocks. He then asked the students again is the if the jar were full. They are getting angry. He 

picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course the standing of the remaining open areas all of the job. heathen has once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a yes. Now said the professor I want you to recognize that represents your life. The dogs are the important things your family, your partner, your health, children things that if everything else was lost and only their email, your life would still be full. The papers are like he had a job, your house, your car. The sand is the small stuff. If you put the send into the jar first he continued oh, there is no room for the papers or the dogs the same goes for your life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important for you.
