A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items 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 golf balls. 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 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 "yes."
The professor then produced two cans of beer from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.
"Now," said the professor, as the laughter subsided, "I want you to recognise that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things - your family, your children, your health, your friends, your favourite passions - good 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 golf balls. The same goes for 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 time to get medical checkups. Take your partner out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house, and fix the disposal. Take care of the golf balls first, the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand."
One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the beer represented.
The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked," he said. "It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of beers." :--)

Let me tell you a very brief story about why i wanted to add this sone to the Forum.

When i was alot yoiunger ,i was attacked outside a club by 6 men and left for dead in the gutter,a few months later i had lost all but 5 percent of my eyesight,so i decided to pick up a guitar and learn to play,a song that always used to choke me up inside was the song Nobodys child,which i learnt to sing and play on guitar.
Its probably one of the saddest song ive ever heard

NOBODYS CHILD

As i was slowly passingva orphans home one day
i stopped for just a little while to watch the children play
Alone a boy was standing and when i asked him why
he turned with eyes that could not see and he began to cry
Im nobodys child,Im nobodys child just like a flower imgrowing wild
no mummys kisses and no daddys smile nobody wants me
im nobodys child.
No mothers arems to hold me or sooth me when i cry
sometimes it gets so lonesome here i wish that i could die
id walk the streets of heaven where all the blind can see
and just like all the other kids there would be a home for me
im nobodys child,im nobodys child just like a flower
im growing wild
no mummys kisses and no dadys smile,nobody wants me
im nobodys child.


My eyes are a lot better now and although still not 100 percent im so thankfull for the improvement.
Wanted to share that sone with you all,hope you like the words.

... try saying something funny.

Congratulations to the Philadelphia Phillies on winning the Major League Baseball Championship in the USA.

Just wanted to share something with the people on here,Maybe your just ignore this or maybe you wont like it but,i i just liked the words and wanted to share them with you all.

There was a guy who said one time,he said you never stood in that man's shoes or saw things through his eyes or stood and watched with helpless hands while the heart inside you dies,so help your brother along the way no matter where he starts from for the same GOD that made you made him to,These men with Broken hearts.

Ladies, members here DO read your profiles when they are looking for a new favorite host. Some pointers:
1.The more pics the better..if I see pics taken today in a great outfit I will enter just to see more. Nothing is worse than one pic in the profile zoomed in and out. Means the girl just dont care.
2. yes, everyone hates rudeness and smelly feet. nothing new here
3. under body type, "supermodel" is not the default. u may be beautiful and have a superb body, (and most of you do!) but if you are over 50kg, unless you are 2 meters tall, you ARE not a supermodel. Look up Adriana Lima or Marisa Miller.
4. 3 whole paragraphs telling me what you will block people for makes you sound like not very much fun.

Hey if you already have all the traffic you can handle, ignore me, I'm just speaking for what I like, and I come here somewhat often :)

One day God was looking down at Earth and saw all the inappropriate behaviour that was going on.
He decided to send an angel down to Earth to check it out.
When the angel returned, he told God, "Yes, it is bad on Earth; 95% are misbehaving and 5% are not."
God thought for a moment and said, "Maybe I had better send down a second angel to get another opinion."
So God called another angel and sent him to Earth for a time.
When that angel returned he went to God and said, "Yes, it's true. The Earth is in decline; 95% are misbehaving and 5% are being good."
God was not pleased. So while he was debating what to do about the 95%
He decided to E-mail the 5% that were good to encourage them - give them a little something to help them keep going.
Do you know what that E-mail said?
No?

I didn't get one either. :--)

a man wakes up one morning in alaska to find a bear on his roof.so he looks in the phone book & finds an ad for"bear removers".he calls the number & the bear remover says he'll be over in 30 minutes.
the bear remover arrives & gets out of his van.he's got a ladder,a baseball bat,a shotgun & a mean,old pit bull.
"what are you going to do?"the home owner asks.
"i'm going put this ladder up against the roof,then i'm going to climb up there & knock the bear off the roof with this baseball bat.when the bear falls off,the pit bull is trained to grab his testicles in his teeth & not let go.the bear will then be subdued enough for me to put him in the cage in the back of the van."
he hands the shotgun to the home owner,who asks"what's the shotgun for?"
"if the bear knocks me off the roof,shoot the dog!!" :--)

Thank you so much for all the nice wishes on my Birthday!

A vicar books into a hotel and says to the hotel clerk"I hope the porn channel in my room is disabled"she replies"its just regular porn you sick Ba_tard".

5 months ago one of my favourites - Colombiana18 - abruptly quit cc and according to a chathost friend of hers, she moved suddenly to Hong Kong. Hard to believe unless maybe she was lured there by some "escort" business. Anyone heard from her recently? I'd be happy to hear news of her well-being. Thanks

A man decides to have a face-lift for his birthday. He spends $5,000 and feels really good about the results. On his way home, he stops at a newsstand and buys a paper.

Before leaving, he says to the sales clerk, "I hope you don't mind me asking, but how old do you think I am?"

"About 35," was the reply.

"I'm actually 47," the man says, feeling really happy.

After that, he goes into McDonalds for lunch and asks the clerk the same question.

The reply is, "Oh, you look about 29".

"I am actually 47."

Later, while standing at a bus stop, he asks an old woman the same question.

She replies, "I am 85 years old, and my eyesight is going. But when I was young, there was a sure way of telling a man's age. If I put my hand down your pants and play with your balls for 10 minutes, I will be able to tell you your exact age."

As there was no one around, the man thinks, What the hell and lets her slip her hand down his pants.

Ten minutes later, the old lady says, "Okay, it's done. You are 47."

Stunned, the man says, "That was brilliant. How did you do that?"

The old lady replies, "I was behind you at McDonalds."
