這一天的哲學課，教授站上了講台
他卻不發一語，只是從講桌底下拿出了一個空的美乃滋瓶罐。
接著他拿出了一袋高爾夫球
他把整袋的高爾夫球塞進了美乃滋空罐裡
然後教授就問學生同不同意這個罐子已經是滿的了
學生們當然是同意。
接著，教授又從桌子下拿出了一杯小小的鵝卵石
他慢慢地把鵝卵石往罐子倒
邊倒邊搖，
不一會兒
所有的高爾夫球間的縫隙
竟也都填滿了鵝卵石。
這時，教授又問學生同不同意
這個美乃滋罐子已經是滿了？？？
學生當然是同意。
可是，話才剛說完
教授又從講桌底下拿出了一杯細沙子
教授又用同樣的方法
邊倒邊搖的把沙子填滿了鵝卵石之間的小縫隙。
教授又問了大家同不同意
這回罐子是真正的滿了？？？
同學說應該是全滿了，沒有空間了。
想不到同學才剛答完話
教授又從講桌下拿出了兩杯咖啡來
開始徐徐地往美乃滋罐子裡倒
直到兩杯咖啡全部到進罐子裡，一滴也不剩。
倒完咖啡後
教授笑著對同學們說：
『現在的美乃滋罐子才是真正的滿了啦。』
同學們也跟著笑了起來
就在整個教室的歡笑聲裡
教授說話了
『你們知道我今天做這個表演，是要告訴你們什麼嗎？
我是要用這個美乃滋罐來告訴你們一個道理
一個關於我們一生的哲理。
這個美乃滋空罐就是我們的人生
高爾夫球就是我們生命中的一些大事
例如：上帝，家庭，小孩，朋友，健康，還有你的摯愛。
生命裡沒有那些小鵝卵石或是沙子沒關係
可是要是缺了這些大事情
我們的生命根本沒有意義。
小小的鵝卵石就是我們生命中的其他的事情
例如：工作，房子，車子等等東西。
至於那細沙子就是我們生命中的小事
那些細微不重要的瑣事。
今天我的表演
如果是一開始就先把沙子灌滿美乃滋罐子
那就根本沒有空間好放入高爾夫球跟鵝卵石
同樣地，如果我是先倒鵝卵石
那也是會沒有空間好給高爾夫球。
我們的生命就是這樣的
如果你盡是把寶貴的時間花在細微的瑣事上
你就不可能有時間去處裡重要的事情。
所以，我們該多花時間去注意
那些會關係到我們快樂與幸福的事情
多跟我們的小孩一起
多去陪陪我們的父母、祖父母，多些時間給家人
多注意自己的身體健康
不要擔心家事做不完
不用擔心房子還沒粉刷
不要擔心花園還沒整理
我們會找到時間來做這些事情的
先多花些心思在那些重要的大事情上吧
生命只有一回
我們把事情的輕重緩急跟優先順序弄清楚
生命才會有意義
教授說到這裡
有個同學舉手了
教授，那兩杯咖啡又代表著什麼呢？
『我很高興你問這個，』教授回答道
這兩杯咖啡就是要告訴我們
不管我們的美乃滋罐看起來是裝得多滿
我們總是可以有空間跟朋友一起享受杯咖啡的！
我們的一生似乎總是這麼的忙
有這麼多的事情要處裡
似乎是一天的 24 小時總是不夠用？
如果你還是這麼想的話
想想『一個美乃滋罐子跟兩杯咖啡』的故事吧。

You Are a Good Friend Because You're Loyal |
 You stick with your friends no matter what, even if you feel like they're doing the wrong thing. You believe in letting people figure out their own path in life. It's not your place to interfere. And part of your loyalty means that you'll do a lot for your friends. You definitely go the extra mile. You'll even do great things for friends without them asking. After all, that's what friendship is all about. You are truly a friend for life. And you have friends you've known since you were a kid. Your friends can count on you to do a favor, remember a birthday, or just be there to listen. Your friends need you most when: They can't turn to anyone else You really can't be friends with: Fickle people who change friends quickly Your friendship quote: "Friendship doubles your joys, and divides your sorrows." |

End of Holiday!!!!
Hi everyone....
I've finally returned to update my blog since new semester already started.
Yesterday was my first day of school and i had such a hard time to get myself into the mood of studying :p
My mind still feels like playing for a few days since i've been playing for more than a month by watching all sort of anime..
it's really hard to get concentrated in class and i cant even write properly (too long didn't write)
Anyway, i did have a great time talking to friends but also sad since i didn't get my loan .. T.T
I really need tat loan!!!! I jux don't get it why it's always so hard for me to get approved??
Hmm.... No luck with money???
Hope i get it in the next listing...
Holiday was really fun because i've went out to work for the first time in my life... My dad never allowed me to work when i was in secondary school and i finally had my chance.. Hehe...
However, i've only worked for a week in a fast food shop and 3 days in pc fair...
The week in the fast food shop was quite interesting cox i'm working as a waitress and found out that it's really isn't a nice job. I had to stand there no matter there is customer or not and clean up all the mess the customers made on the table. I've also realize that some people really waste their food... They just ordered food that is more than they can eat... Cleaning up b4 and after the operating hours is really tiring too.. And most important of all, tat experience told me tat i should eat more of my mum cooking that outside food.. WHY?? Haha... go for a work at fast food shop and u'll understand wat i mean...
As for pc fair, i worked as a promoter. I personally hated promoter because when they started to talk to me, i jux find it very hard to reject the product they are promoting even though it's not the brand i wanted to buy. So i always ended up buying another different brand from what i wan. Huh... Really have to change this habit...
In order to give myself a chance to change this habit, i worked at pc fair promoting printer.. It was really fun there cox i feel so proud when the printers were sold out after i promoted to the customers.. And i also met a lot of old friends or old classmates and also teachers or lectures.. 3 days standing for nearly 12 hours a day really tired me up but it's worth it.. I've used up my 3 days salary to buy myself an external hard disk (250GB) as a reward.. Now i can jux download wat ever anime i wan to watch and dont have to worry for space anymore... And most of all, it feels nice jux to spend the money u earn urself..
This holiday i ended up trying for two jobs and even though i didn't work for a very long time at both job, i treasure the experience i had and cant' wait to go for another job for the next holiday.. But for nw, study is more important... Haha...
Kampate for all my friends in the new semester and also those who will be having their test soon...
