Graham Nash Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 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 till he could fit no more. 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 unanimous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
great white Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 How easy it is to forget and get the priorities wrong. I have been fretting about how I can beat this weather to get the boat launched before the Yard closes at Noon tomorrow. Earlier I accepted that to do this I would not get her antifouling done to the usual standard. Now I have decided that not having the boat afloat at Christmas is not that important. It will give me more time to enjoy Christmas and Wendy's 50th birthday on the 27th with family and frends. If the weather turns cold and calm, I will see who is going out and see if I can crew on friends boats. have a great Christmas everyone Charlie [looking after the golf balls, for a change] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
