Good afternoon, everyone. Good afternoon.

We all have this one life to live—the fleeting shadow amongst all that exists in this vast universe.

We have the ability to accomplish anything, truly anything, if we use our time wisely. Is this jar full?

Yes. And is it full now? Yes.

And how about now? Is the jar full now? Yes.

Yeah, it is. Now I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life.

The golf balls are the important things: your family, your friends, your health, and your passions.

The pebbles are the other important things: your car, your job, your home.

And the sand is everything else—it's just the small stuff.

Now if you put the sand into the jar first, you won't have room for the pebbles or the golf balls. And the same is true in life.

If you spend all your energy and your time on the small stuff, you won't have time for all the really important things that matter to you.

Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness.

Take care of the golf balls first, the really important things.

Set your priorities, because everything else is...it's just sand. Yes.

Uh, professor, what does the beer represent?

I'm glad you asked. It goes to show that no matter how full your life may seem to be, there's always room for a couple of beers with a friend.
