A Lesson To Be Learnt - Mrs Rama - R.E.A.L Kids Kota Damansara

Mrs Rama gave us an inspiring speech on A Lesson To Be Learnt during Toastmasters Session on 18th Feb 2014.

Have you ever asked yourself below 2 questions:

What are the important things in our lives?

What are not important things in our lives?

There's a story about a Professor addressing this question to his class. He picked up an empty jar and filled it with Golf Balls. Turned to ask his students, "Is the jar full?" 

The students took sometime, some answered yes while some answered no.

Then he took a box of Pebbles and roll them down into the jar and asked again, "Is the jar full?"

As usual, some says yes and some says no. But there are more yeses now.

Next on, he picked out a box filled with Sand and pour the sand into the jar. And repeated his question. All the students said YES!

To their amazement, he now pulled out a bottle of Chocolate Milk and poured it into the jar. And guess what? The whole class laughed.

Do you know what does this mean?

-  Golf Balls resemble the big things in our lives, eg: family, children, health, etc.

- Pebbles resemble our jobs and houses, properties, etc.

- Sand resembles the small matters.

- Chocolate milk resembles the need to treat ourselves occasionally, to motivate ourselves in life's journey, and to enjoy your life.

Give importance to the big things, others are just like the dust and sand. Go for medical check regularly. And remember what makes you happy.
