A Jar and the Beer: An Inspiring Story

When things in your life seem almost to much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar... and the beer.

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 next 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 an unanimous "yes."

Letter of A Law Student to his future self ...

Yes ! Check ! Tama ! Korek ! Hindi ako mali ng pronoun na ginamit (his) kasi may isshare lang ako sa inyo na nakita kong sulat mula sa isang blog na nakita ko sa net . Sya ng author ng blog na "Kwentong Barbero". Dati rin syang law student and I really have no idea kung abogado na sya ngayon kaya hndi na sya nkakapag-blog kasi ang last post nya ay noong 2007 pa, pero dahil mabusisi ako nakita ko na asensado na pala ang blog nya dahil may sarili na syang website at mas makikilala mo sya dito. Sana ok lang sa kanya na nire-post ko to . After all, tingin ko marami namang matutuwang law students dito eh :)) So , Ito na yung letter nya nung 27 years old palang sya sa 48 years old na sya ...

Dear Future Me – 48 years old, 

The law students clutter...

Its quite a funny thought to ponder about my expectations before i entered law school. During those times I had a high regard for law students (those know it all bastards) standing proudly in their polo barongs prowling the streets of dapitan while puffing their daily intake of nicotine and tar. I was a freshmen AB student that time and for me it was a classic sight just like a child seeing for the first time the heroes that he admired, and promised to himself one day I'll be wearing the same off-white polo barong armed with that law school smile and pride.

Keep Calm and Enjoy Law School ...
