Idea for a new thread - everybody puts what little known fact they learnt today, so that we can all learn loads of new little facts......

I wonder if when then the weatherman's wrong your iron underwear gets rusty?

I learned today to never agree to anything suggested when I've just woken up or I'm liable to agree with really stupid stuff.

A philosophy professor stood before his class and had
some items in front of him.

When the class began, wordlessly he picked up a large
empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with
rocks, rocks about 2" in diameter. He then asked the
students if the jar was full? Is it? They agreed that
it was. Do you?




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. Do you?





The students laughed. The professor picked up a box of
sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand
filled up everything else."Now," said the rofessor, "I
want you to recognize that this is your life.
The rocks are the important things - your family, God,
your partner, your health, your children - 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,
your car. The sand is everything else. The small
stuff."

"If you put the sand into the jar first, there is no
room for the pebbles or the rocks. The same goes for
your 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 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."

Blessings,

In situations that are very important to me, I've learned that if I don't listen to my heart, and follow the mundane logic of my head, I ALWAYS go wrong, ALWAYS!!!

Listen to the answers of your heart and soul, no matter how it looks or seems logically.

Thanks for that- it's exactly what I needed to learn today.
I'm printing it and sticking it on my fridge!

I learnt today that I am very highly regarded by my managers at work!

A great feeling, not least because i love my job and hope to spend the rest of my working life with them. It has taken me many years to find a job that is so right for me, and now it seems that they think i am so right for them - wonderful!

I've learned that exposure to a goodly amount of insanity every day is an excellent thing and it makes the day go by faster. :)

saw this on a billboard:

Wisdom has two parts:

1. Having a lot to say
2. Not saying it
