Recently I was having a conversation with a mentor. Its goes about say that when one is poor, with not much money. You tend to have the urge to want to eat everything during your basic meals.
I want to eat the chicken rice with the carrot cake and some fried sausage with ice freeze mango for example.
And when one move from poor to have a BIT of money. one tend to really order everything and anything and still yet finish it. Feeling content at the same time.
However, when they starts to have lost of moeny. Instead of eating quantity, they start to be selective and eat quality food.
Making choices and picking what they eat. Choosing between organic salads, fresh prawns and such now.
Does that happen to each and individual of us? Is that how we unknowingly conduct our life?
On another day, while flipping over a book in a library. I spotted a short essay that gave me some enlightenment.
A class of student was assemble with a philosophy lecturer in a garden. Among the lecturer is several buckets of rocks, stones and sands.
Taking an bucket full with large rocks, the lecturer move to an empty bucket and begin pouring it into a empty bucket. when the rocks are full too the top with no room for more.
He asked the student, 'Is this bucket consider full now?' The student answered 'Yes'
Next, he went to bucket with small stones, each about a fist size or so and pour it into the bucket fill with large rocks. after all the small stones have fill up the gaps.
He asked the student, 'Is this bucket consider full now?' The student replied 'Yes'
Do being done, he pick up another bucket, this time with small pepples and begin the same process again, managing to fill the bucket that was 'full' in the student view.
After getting the same answer from the group of student, he pick up another bucket of fine sand and begin pouring it until the bucket over flow.
And said, there maybe only 1 life, but you can live it 4 times.

For it dawn upon me was that such things are always made know to us. Priotize what is important and clear it out first and move on. This allows up to have more room..more time for other things.
Given that much thoguht, sleeping away half day and idle the other half will not yield any meaningful results in life.
As the saying goes, its the little things that we do everyday that make a big difference. Have you found the little thing which can change your life? improve it?
