Let's take a coffee

Hi to all

with this post I leave a message, it is a well knowne (?) story but I think that we can always remember it time to time.

It is easy to forget some of the most important things in our live as well to ignore the simple friendship daily acts .

So please always remember to have a coffee with your friends

The story:

One day a professor went to his philosophy class and without a word we starts to fill a large and empty glass pot with golf balls, in the end he ask to class.
- what do you think is it full?
All the students agree with the fact.
However the professor took some other small balls ( berlindes) and starts to fill the empty spaces between the golf balls. Again he asks the same question, and the answer was the same .
Then we took a box full of sand and he starts to fill again the pot, the sand has cover all the empty spaces on the pot, and he asks the same question and the answer of course was the same FULL!!!.
However the professor goes out side the class room and when he came in he bought a coffee cup and he starts to fill the pot, and the coffee was drain by the sand.
The students start laughing.
Then the professor says :
- The pot is your life, first of all there is You, your family and friends, the most important for you(Golf Balls), then you have all the other things, you job, you club, you car, your house (berlindes), then you have a lot of small things, but if you have put the sand first, we could not have put the golf balls and the small ones.
Our life is like the pot so please do not lose all your time with the small things, enjoy you family, enjoy your friends, lock to you, go study, be your best friend, do your favourite sport, and there always be time for the small things.
In the end a student asks.
- Professor and about the coffee? What that represents.
- I am glad you ask, it is only to remember us that there is always time and space to have a coffee with our friends.

THE END

Related with the dinner, last week-end I was talking with Carlos and Isabel and I am going to organize a camping party with a spectacular trip on a canoe in Aviz a quite nice village in Alto Alentejo, and I was thinking that it could be nice that we all go on this week-end to have some fun.

5 and 6 of April will be the dates to the party, of course is going to have Barbecue, songs and games around the fire camp and lots of fun.

I hope that all of you can come, of course that we need to rent the canoes but that will be a not expensive cost and in the next days I will give you , more information.

Don’t forget your family and/or friends.

Tell me if you would like to participate.

Bye
