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 the remaining open areas of the jar.

“Take care of the rocks first – the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.”
(I just remember what I have read elsewhere and like to add a bit more.)
The professor asked, can the jar accept anything more? even before the students could answer he took a a small bottle of water and poured into it and the water slowly sink into the jar. the students shook their head in diselief of the lessons that they have learned
Together with all our efforts we need the support and grace of God. Water represents the grace of God or the Holy Spirit that renews us. Even with all our efforts and hard work we still have an element to add, the spiritual aspect. Let us not forget of this. so let us give a chance to God and his Spirit to renew us and fill us to the full.
