Things that matters in life !!!!

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 inches 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 professor picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up the remaining open areas of the jar.

He then asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous “Yes.”
“Now,” said the professor, “I want you to recognize that this jar represents 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,” he continued, “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. Play with your children. Take your partner out dancing. There will always be time to go to work, clean the house, give a dinner party, or fix the disposal.”

“Take care of the rocks first – the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.”

                                  

Pregnant lady vs Man: Height of misunderstanding :P :P

A young woman who was several months pregnant was sitting in a bus.

When she noticed a young man smiling at her she began feeling humiliated on account of her condition.

She changed her seat and he seemed more amused.

She moved again and then on seeing him laughing more. She filed a court case on him.

In the court the man's deference was:-

When the lady boarded the bus I couldn't help noticing she was

pregnant.

She sat under an advertisement, which read "Coming Soon- The unknown boon"..

I was even more amused when she then sat under a shaving advertisement, which read:-"William's stick did the trick"..

Then I could not control myself any longer, when on the third move she sat under an advertisement, which read:-

"Dun lop Rubber would have prevented this accident"..

The case was dismissed. The judge fell off his chair laughing :D :D :D :D

Professor Desai: A Person who live for others

Just like any other day while going office, I boarded a train for Andheri from Wadala station. I got down at Andheri Station to catch a train to Goregaon. But it happened to be a rather different and  surprising day when I heard a loud and clear voice in the first class compartment of Borivli bound train. I was surprised rather amused to see a man with thick mustache and well dressed with a box in his hand begging in the first class compartment of a train.In a clear and loud voice and fluent English he started by introducing himself as "Professor Desai". He went on to add that he runs an NGO named as "Shlok Sansathan" that helps the poor children of couple of Indian States to get education. The whole organization runs on donation given by the people and he himself begs to collect money to achieve his noble dream. I started listening him with more and more attention. He had few newspaper and magazine cuttings from leading daily newspapers and magazines of Mumbai and in different languages - English, Hindi, Marathi and Gujarati. He waved them and showed the to people sitting in the train like flash cards by reading the headlines given on the paper cuttings in its respective languages  One cut out of DNA newspaper headlined "He begs to educate poor" made me remember that even I read it several weeks ago. I was happy to see that such people still exists who still think of others. He added that he and his organization started four fully functional English medium schools for poor children in the state of Maharashtra that too free of costs and one school is under construction in Rajasthan. He said that he will continue opening free English medium schools all over India. After finishing his great speech, he appealed people in the train to donate according to their will. He went one by one to each passenger and kept the donation box in front of them. Many people came forward to give a helping hand for such a pure, greed less and noble cause. I was the unfortunate one as I didn't have cash in my wallet to give my piece of help. I was feeling so bad that I didn't contributed any thing. My BAD LUCK. After that day every day I wish if I could see him and donate some money for this noble cause of free education to poor children. He is shaping the less fortunate young generation of India into the human beings who will capable to establish their names and India's name in future. I really SALUTE and BOW down in front of this great man Professor Desai. Wish if everyone could think for the good of others!!!!
