A philosophy professor stood before his class and had some items in front of him.
When the class began, wordlessly he picked up a large empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with rocks, rocks about 2" in diameter.
He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was. So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles, of course, rolled into the open areas between the rocks. He then asked the students again if the jar was full.
They agreed it was. The students laughed. The professor picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else.
"Now," said the professor, "I want you to recognize that this is your life. The rocks are the important things - your family, your partner, your health, your children - things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.

The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house, your car. The sand is everything else, the small stuff.
"If you put the sand into the jar first, there is no room for the pebbles or the rocks. 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 to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Take care of the rocks first - the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand."
But then a student then took the jar which the other students and the professor agreed was full, and proceeded to pour in a glass of beer. Of course the beer filled the remaining spaces within the jar making the jar truly full.
The moral of this tale is: no matter how full your life is, there is always room for

true, dont ever lie to your mom, and guys, not even to your wife, coz like your mother, the wife really really would always find out if you are telling a lie. I have read a similar joke like this but in a different version. Its the husband and wife thing that the husband says he will be gone for a week to do fishing with his boss then he asked his wife to pack his new pyjamas. After a week, the husband returns, the wife asked how was your fishing. The husband replied oh it was good i caught a couple of big fishes and it was fun only that you forgot the pack my pyjamas that i asked you, to which the wife replied, oh the pyjamas, i packed it honey and put it in your fishing box, hahaha, see how clever a wife or even a mother could be. If the husband had really gone fishing then he should've found where the pyjama is. Same thing with the frying pan. Really made me laughing and realize how a woman's instinct works, guys should really be careful. anyway, thanks for sharing this great joke, have a star for this!
