Hvorfor?

Hvor sejt!

I er da vanvittige!

Bare vi havde gjort det for 20 år siden!

Jamen hvad med alle jeres ting?

Kommer I hjem igen?

Reaktionerne har været mange, efter vi fortalte, at nu solgte vi huset, de fleste af vores ting og drog til Hawaii.

Følgende lille historie opsummerer for os meget godt, hvad det hele handler om:


One day an expert in time management was speaking to a group of business students. To drive home a point, he used an illustration those students will never forget. As he stood in front of the group of high-powered overachievers, he said, "Okay, time for a quiz".

He pulled out a one-gallon, wide-mouthed mason jar and set it on the table in front of him.He then produced approximately a dozen fist-sized rocks and carefully placed them, one at a time, into the jar. When the jar was filled to the top and no more rocks would fit inside, he asked, "Is the jar full?"Everyone in the class replied, "Yes".Then he said, "Really?". He reached under the table and pulled out a bucket of gravel. He dumped some gravel into the jar, and shook the jar causing pieces of gravel to work themselves down into the space between the big rocks. He asked the group once more, "Is the jar full?"The class was on to him and one person answered, "Probably not"."Good!", he replied. He reached under the table and brought out a bucket of sand. He started dumping the sand in the jar. It went into all of the spaces left between the rocks and the gravel. Once more he asked the question,"Is the jar full?"The class shouted, "No".Once again he said, "Good".He grabbed a pitcher of water, and began to pour it into the jar until the jar was filled to the brim.

He looked at the class and asked, What is the point of this illustration?".One eager beaver raised his hand and said, "The point is, no matter how full your schedule is, if you try really hard you can always fit some more things in it!""No", the speaker replied. "That's not the point. The truth this illustration teaches us is: If you don't put the big rocks in first, you'll never get them in at all".

Ask yourself, what are the "BIG ROCKS" in your life? Think about it. Is it time with loved ones? Your faith? Your education? Your dreams? A worthy cause?

Whatever they may be, remember to put them into your jar first, or you'll never get them in at all!
