THE PROFESSOR

A philosophy professor stood before his class with some items on the table in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with rocks, about 2 inches in diameter.

He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.

So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles, of course, rolled into the open areas between the rocks.

He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.

The professor picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else.

He then asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous “Yes.”

“Now,” said the professor, “I want u to recognize that this jar represents ur life. The rocks are the important things – ur family, ur partner, ur health, ur children – things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, ur life would still be full.

The pebbles are the other things that matter – like ur job, ur house, ur car.

The sand is everything else. The small stuff.”

“If u put the sand into the jar first,” he continued “there is no room for the pebbles or the rocks. The same goes for ur life.

If you spend all ur time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to u. Pay attention to the things that are critical to ur happiness. Play with your children. Take ur partner out dancing. There will always be time to go to work, clean the house, give a dinner party and fix the disposal.

Take care of the rocks first – the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand. - Pream Anand Tharmalingam

I WANT TO BE ME!

I dream of the future

And remember the past

All the places I want to go

And all the time that's passed

There is so much I want to do

And not much that I have done

I want to live life to the fullest

Because we only have one

I want to look back one day

And be happy with what I see

Remember all the fun I had

And be thankful to be ME!

What have I Learned?

Sometimes people come into your life to serve some sort of purpose…teach you a lesson or help you figure out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be….like your teacher, old school friends,college friends, roommate, haters, lover, or even a complete stranger…!!!

In the past 14 years I have learned many lessons that affected my life in some profound way… the way i never thought it would happen…So today I just want to share things that I’ve learned from these people…!!!

I've learned that eventually things change, people change and it doesn't mean you forget the past or try to cover it up. It simply means that you move on and treasure the memories…. I’ve learned that good sense of humor cures almost all of life's ills…. I’ve learned that maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had and what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated…. I've learned that sometimes people we care about the most in life are taken from us too soon.…I've learned that no matter how much i care…some people just don’t care back… I’ve learned that we should never waste our precious time on things that don't matter and people that think you don't matter… I’ve learned the best kind of friend is one with whom we can swing with, never say a single word and then walk away with a feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had… I've learned that our backgrounds and circumstances may have influenced our lives, but we are responsible for who we become….for what we do, no matter how we feel.…!!!

I've learned that sometimes when i am angry I’ve the right to be angry but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel… I’ve learned time and people have a way of slipping away. We have to appreciate them while they're here, so you won't have any regrets after they're gone… I’ve learned it's good to have someone who will talk to you…but it's great to have someone who will listen to you… I've learned that there are people who love you dearly, but they just don't know how to show it… I’ve learned that two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different… I've learned that it takes years to build up trust, and just seconds to destroy it…I’ve learned everybody deserves a second chance but not for the same mistake… I’ve learned we don't waste time grieving over past mistakes….We should learn from them and move on…!!!

I've learned sometimes it's not just a matter of who is right and who is wrong…It's a matter of swallowing your pride in order to keep a special person in your life…. I’ve learned as soon as you start to get comfortable with life, with people around you, it does something to shake things up again…I’ve learned that promises are broken everyday…we don’t have to promise anything if we don’t intend to keep it… I've learned that no matter how good your friend is...In the end they'll hurt you... it's up to you to decide who is worth the pain...!!!

I've learned that no matter what happens to me on earth or how much my faith falters...God's faith in me never dwindles or fails...!!! I've learned that life's lessons never end, they goes on as life progresses...!!! - Pream Anand Tharmalingam

HEART

Life is to win the HEART! 

It is true that we learnt all the things from our parents, teachers, friends, the things around us and with the situations. 

They play very big role in our life. 

Directly or indirectly they teaches us to live with the situations. 

And I now have learnt that you have won everything if you have won the heart of the people. 

If you wanna enjoy in the club, wanna collect diamond of happiness......, life....., life is not this all. Life is the name of work, honest, success, love and heart. In fact life is the name of heart, winning the HEART! 

You don't stop and get tired. Time can be changed. In this path you might lost your way, you might try many times, might not find to come out but you should have faith on you, so you will come out from all the problems. 

Ya, in your journey, you will meet lots of people, some people are good and some people are bad. You must have to go with bad as well. Because the real meaning of life is 'WINNING The HEART' of the people. 

In this game of life everything might be changed, whatever you have now might not be with you tomorrow, all the happiness and enjoyment might be gone, all your hard work to get your destination might be futiled. 

But everything will be come back if you have won the 

HEART of the people - Pream Anand
