So the story begins in a class room where the professor comes to the class and holds in his hand a glass jar, some small stones, some pebbles and sand together. Now children are wondering what are these professors going to do today? So the professor comes to class and he puts the jar on the table. Then first they started putting big stones in it and they put big stones in the glass jar till the glass pot was filled with stones.

He then asked the children if the jar was full. So everyone said yes, the jar is full. Now he started putting small pebbles in that jar and he went to the pebbles and reached the small places which were in the middle of the stone. Now they again asked if the jar was full? The children said yes, the jar was full and now they started to put the sand inside the jar and whatever little thick space was left was also filled with that sand and seeing this the children started laughing and asking the professor what it was are doing ?

Then the professor explained that this glass vessel is like your life, in which you have to set some priority of your own. You have to think which work you will do first and which work you will do later. The stones that I put in this jar first is your family, that pebble is your career and finally the sand that pours will not stop your life even if the small needs of your life are not fulfilled and this sand will not stop your fights and It also reflects anger.

In the same way, if we always forget the big priority of our life which is our family and our career to fulfill the small needs of our life, then finally we will have to regret it because life will be complete but will it Also have to live a life? The life where you do not find someone to share your happiness, someone who can stand with you in sorrow, that life is incomplete. Life that has no purpose, which has no goal, life is incomplete. Moments spent with your family and to make your career, you will get all that small happiness in the way of your hard work to reach your goal and for these two you will have to do many small and big sacrificial but I will be happy for you. That’s all for today. Hope you like this story, do not forget to like and do subscribe
