The mayonnaise jar and the coffee
When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar......and the coffee.
A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items 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 golf balls. 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 rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.
The professor then picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous “yes!”
The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.
“Now,” said the professor as the laughter subsided, “I want you to recognise that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things - your family, your children, your health, your friends and your favourite passions - things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full. The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house, and your car. The sand is everything else - the small stuff.” “If you put the sand into the jar first,” he continued, “there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your partner out to dinner. Play a round of golf. There will always be time to clean the house and put the rubbish bin out.” “Take care of the golf balls first, the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.” One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented. The professor smiled. “I’m glad you asked that. It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there’s always room for a cup of coffee with a friend."

meaningful story n analogy
"The mayonnaise jar and the coffee" is so meaning full,, and i hope it can inspire other people also (^____^)
really nice story n meaning full...
but then i think bit complicated or maybe i am too slow to understand hehehehhehehehe
i love my handphone because it connected me to my family, friends & love one.
'The mayonnaise jar and the coffee'....meaningful story. We should sometime see things in a difference angle to value life more & people around us.
betul tu Masniah..we are lucky to have this kind of sophisticated gadget. macamana la org dulu2 kalau belum terima scholarship terpaksa makan megi, minta duit pakai telegram, lepas tu kena berbaris panjang pula di pejabat pos tukar kiriman wang..huhuhu..mau hutang kawan untuk makan nasi campur pun diapun tiada duit macam kita...
Nowadays, with one sms and one click of online banking, asking and sending money become easier and faster..
thanks pak jaz for the reminding me facts of life. i really enjoy reading it.. (now started to think what is prior in my life).
because of my nature of work, i'm always away from home. sms, phone call, email connect me to the loves one
............Well, whatever it is, we all come from the same source and surely we will returning back and responsible for whatever we do. Wallahualam bi sa waf.....
facebook,most famous ways to connect with family & friend especially the ones you hardly have time to see.
life is a gift for us.. do not give it away for nothing. we do what we must, others let it slide by itself..
and one more thing to add..
we've got cesc fabregas!! (gooners only)
Walkie Talkie. Nowadays some of the transportation in Sabah are using this kind of communication because the frequency of receiving is very strong. Even in the deep of the jungle we can receive the signal.This device is important and useful if we need help from others especially if we are in far side of Sabah.
broadband.. kemudahan banyak membantu masyarakat tentang menafaatkan masa... banyak maklumat yang dapat diperolehi dengan mudah, cth nya.. melayari facebook dan lain-lain...
skypie is among the most popular way to communicate now a day..Even the manager are always using skypie to give any command or to send the data or any important document to his/her staff..its can be the faster ways for the any organization to transfer or receive any information freely without making too many moving..
Technolgi music very good, if u use whit true, we can so harmoni many entertaiment n u can thing whit yourself spititual your mind
email ialah satu cara untuk menghubungkan sesama kawan, atau ingin mendapatkan kenalan baru..boleh juga menghantar maklumat kepada rakan2..dalam pekerjaan, email sangat penting.
kewujudan telefon telah menyedarkan manusia bahawa komunakasi adalah sangat penting..malahan banyak perkara yang boleh diselesaikan cuma dengan membuat panggilan telefon sahaja..oleh itu, kewujudan telefon telah memberi banyak kepentingan kepada manusia..
sistem satelit merupakan alat kemunikasi yang penting kerana sistem satelit dapat membantu manusia dalam pemancaran komputer,handfhon....selain itu sistem satelit juga membantu manusia dalam segala pengurusan dalam sistem telikomunikasi.........
Assalammualaikum...
Cakera keras atau Hard disk di gunakan sebagai tempat menyimpan data2..d mana pada suatu ketika dulu penyimpanan data d lakukan secara manual(fail).
family are important and our career pays the bills....
Teknologi telekomunikasi ciptaan manusia pada abad ini telah menjangkaui jauh daripada pemikiran manusia sehingga luar kawalan......
Assalamualiakum...
teknologi komputer merupakan salah satu tekologi yang penting dalam sektor perkerjaan masa kini
hisyamuddin, good topic on walkie talkie. i was one of thousands of them using radio to communicate through this frequency few years ago..i remember we must have our own "call sign" like 9W6 - nine wiskey six - or the lower band like A for alpha, B beta, C charlie, D delta.......Y yankee and Z for zulu..
this type of comm have their own cord, for example if we want to end conversation, we ll say QRX 73 and so forth..its very useful especially when there is no handphone signal and save cost too! just pay not more than 100 per year and u can talk and talk and talk until either your radio run out battery or you yourself run out idea..hihi
i think for short distance communication like for security - in radius of 3-5 kms, radio is the best option.
Walkie-talkies are widely used in any setting where portable radio communications are necessary for example in deep jungle operation when network connection is unavailable or in business, public safety, military and outdoor recreation. The devices are available at numerous price points from inexpensive analog units sold as toys up to analog and digital units for use on boats or in heavy industry. (^___^) and we don't have to pay our monthly phone bill..
The first radio receiver/transmitter to be widely nick-named "Walkie-Talkie" was the backpacked Motorola SCR-300, created by an engineering team in 1940 at the Galvin Manufacturing Company (fore-runner of Motorola). The team consisted of Dan Noble, who conceived of the design using frequency modulation, Raymond Yoder, Henryk Magnuski who was the principal RF engineer, Marion Bond, Lloyd Morris, and Bill Vogel.
A walkie-talkie, or handie talkie, (more formally known as a handheld transceiver) is a hand-held, portable, two-way radio transceiver. Its development during the Second World War has been variously credited to Donald L. Hings, radio engineer Alfred J. Gross, and engineering teams at Motorola. Similar designs were created for other armed forces, and after the war, walkie-talkies spread to public safety and eventually commercial and jobsite work. Major characteristics include a half-duplex channel (only one radio transmits at a time, though any number can listen) and a "push-to-talk" (P.T.T) switch that starts transmission.
Thank you Sir. This idea came when i return to my hometown and my friend introduce me to this device. He just learning how to use this type of communication and teach me about it. From the information that I've receive the radio frequency can be reach until oversea if the hertz are match. From my point of view, we can apply this device when we want to communicated with other staff from block to block also in another areas in the field.
Typical walkie-talkies resemble a telephone handset, possibly slightly larger but still a single unit, with an antenna sticking out of the top. Where a phone's earpiece is only loud enough to be heard by the user, a walkie-talkie's built-in speaker can be heard by the user and those in the user's immediate vicinity. Hand-held transceivers may be used to communicate between each other, or to vehicle-mounted or base stations.
Radio engineer Alfred J. Gross also worked on the early technology behind the walkie-talkie between 1934 and 1941, and is sometimes credited with inventing it. Gross had developed and tested a small portable high-frequency radio with two-way communications features which he dubbed a "walkie-talkie".
Walkie-talkies for public safety, commercial and industrial uses may be part of trunked radio systems, which dynamically allocate radio channels for more efficient use of limited radio spectrum. Such systems always work with a base station that acts as a repeater and controller, although individual handsets and mobiles may have a mode that bypasses the base station.
Walkie-talkies are widely used in any setting where portable radio communications are necessary, including business, public safety, military, outdoor recreation, and the like, and devices are available at numerous price points from inexpensive analog units sold as toys up to ruggedized (i.e. waterproof or intrinsically safe) analog and digital units for use on boats or in heavy industry.
walkie talkies are wish choice for those has involve at the plantation field..it has many advantage such as the faster way to communicate among the staff and management at the field..an addition it will use able at the out coverage hand phone area.. furthermore it will saving cost to communicate because it just using frequency to connecting to each another..
While jobsite and government radios are often rated in power output, consumer radios are frequently and controversially rated in mile or kilometer ratings. Because of the line of sight propagation of UHF signals, experienced users consider such ratings to be wildly exaggerated, and some manufacturers have begun printing range ratings on the package based on terrain as opposed to simple power output
walkie talkie merupakan satu alat perhubungan yang sering digunakan tidak kira organasasi, individu atau kumpulan. penggunaan walkie talkie membolehkan penjimatan kos dalam komunikasi yang melibatkan teknologi. rekabentuknya yang kecil membolehkan ia mudah dibawa ke mana saja..oleh itu, walkie talkie merupakan alat perhubungan yang paling berkesan dan boleh menjimatkan kos dalam komunikasi yang melibatkan teknologi..
Pada pendapat saya, walkie talkie mempunyai beberapa kelebihan yang boleh menjimatkan kos. Pertama ialah, tidak perlu menggunakan kredit seperti menggunakan telefon bimbit untuk menghubung orang lain, kos hanya sekali, walkie talkie juga mudah dibawa ke mana-mana, menggunakan frekuensi radio dan boleh berkomunikasi lebih dari seorang..
Dewasa ini, penggunaan alat telekomunikasi walkie talkie amat digemari oleh golongan korporat atau individu, malah kepenggunan alat ini menular dalam sektor pelancongan(Poring Hot Spring) dan perladangan (Felcra Berhad) majoriti golongan-golongan ini mengiakan bahawa penggunaan alat ini mengandungi seribu kebaikan. selain daripada menjimatkan kos panggilan berbanding telefon bimbit, penggunaan walkie talkie juga telah menjadi satu alat hiburan dan maklumat pantas. dalam masa yang sama, kerana alat ini boleh menerima semua pertuturan rakan-rakan melalui rangkaian frekuensi..
