SHORT STORY ON PRIORITIES OF LIFE

TITLE – ROCKS,PEBBLES AND SAND

Today, I am going to narrate a famous short motivational story on priorities of life, taken from internet with the title Rocks, Pebbles and Sand.

To be successful in life, one should have priorities in life. Our priorities in life may differ at different stages of our life. But priorities of personal health, family and career are very very vital and other things may be of less importance

Through three items like Rocks, Pebbles and Sand, a philosophy professor wants to make his students understand about priorities in life. Let us enjoy this short motivational story…..

STORY…

A professor of philosophy entered into his class room along with a large transparent empty jar, rocks, pebbles and sand and kept them on the table.

The students were amused to see all these items and were thinking what is going to happen!

As the class started, professor took the large transparent empty jar and started to fill it with rocks/stones. Then the professor asked his students, “Is the jar full? The students nodded their heads and confirmed that it was”.

Then the professor picked up the box of small pebbles and poured them into the jar. The pebbles went into through the small gap of the rock as the professor shook the jar. He once again asked, is the jar full? The students again nodded their heads and replied it was full.

Finally, the professor poured the sand into the jar and filled up the whole space. The sand went through the minute gaps and filled up the entire jar.

Now, the professor explained this activity to the class. He said, this jar is like your life, your main values are your family, health, morality etc. These things deserve top priority.

The pebbles are the other things of your life that matter like your job, house, and car etc.

The sand represent the small stuff that is like the least priorities in life, these can be like unnecessary quarrels and egos.

Addressing the students, the professor said , if you pour the sand into the jar first, there would be no place left for rocks/stones and pebbles. Therefore, you have to pay highest attention or top priority to the things that are the most important in life like family, health and spirituality.

So, spend enough time with your family, take full care of your health and never forget to develop spirituality.

Try to be honest, kind hear-ted, sensitive and helpful. These are the important qualities that are required for you and the human kind.

Therefore, everybody should understand priorities in life. You should have good strategy to take care of the priorities in life to succeed in life as well as to get lot of satisfaction in life. Better not to waste your time and effort on unnecessary aspects of life.

CONCLUSION:-

To conclude this vital topic, let me tell you to be very clear about what you want from your life. Have a life mission. Life Mission are the priorities that can give you meaning and mission. I am pointing out some of the priorities in life for a balanced and successful life.

  • Define your mission statement and identify things you need to accomplish or fulfill your purpose in life.

Your physical health should be kept at the top of your priority list. To improve your health eat balanced diet, develop and follow proper exercise routine, and never skip your sleep.

  • You should spend quality time with your family. Your family certainly come to your support when you have a bad time.
  • Time spent with family enhances your self – esteem, helps to promote positive habits, and builds memories.
  • It is always important to have healthy relationships. Relationships are very much important and helpful in finding meaning and purpose in life.
  • Your family comes at the top, then your friends, colleagues, or members of your community or society. All of them play significant role in your life.
  • Surround yourself with quality people that will inspire you daily. And you should keep a distance from toxic relationship as well as negative people.
  • Take care of your mental health. Experiencing burn out or stress is very common. Develop cope – up strategies to resolve issues.
  • Please never forget the value of money and importance of finance. Life will become miserable when you struggle to pay your bills or feed yourself.
  • You have to work on your savings and investment goals.Make money work for you rather than working all your life for money.
  • Save as much as possible. Increase your assets and decrease/ reduce your liabilities. Invest in low risk projects which can bring passive income in the short – term as well as for the long term.
  • You should avoid debts and save for emergencies.
