A philosophy professor stood before his class with some items on the table 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 rocks, about 2" in diameter.

..............

"If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued "there is no room for the pebbles or the rocks. The same goes for your life.

Take care of the rocks first - the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand."

What do you think?

I now know that there are places where people actually buy mayonnaise in tub-sized containers.

 

[Grall]

It's for people who love mayonnaise so much they have it on everything, including their breakfast cereal I imagine.

 

[Mize]

As in Canadians.

Me "Just lie back and think of england"
Girlfriend "But i don't even know who's in the team"

Well thank you for that mental image

Something about the quote itself?

Who is it attributed to? I had known it even 4 years ago.

Yes nice quote
to its an often used allegory, WRT life roots,seeds,harvest etc. Ive used it many times in various songs.
I still prefer the closing verse to my ~20 minute song 'the meaning of life'

the meaning of life is to fuck
to fuck until you lose your mind
you've gotta love everyone in sight
you've gotta do it until you go blind
and with any luck
there will be an afterlife
but until that day comes along we've gotta keep moaning and sighing
