Management Story: Glass Cans And Beer

The professor of philosophy stood on the podium and took out an empty glass tank about 3 litres, filled with stones about 5 centimeters in diameter. He then asked the students:

"Is the pot full?"

"It's full."

Replied the students.

So the professor took out a small bag of green beans and poured them into the glass jar and shook them gently.

Of course, mung beans fill the gap between stones.

The professor asked, "is the jar full?"

The students laughed and replied, "it's full."

Then the professor took a box full of sand from the table, poured the sand into the glass pot, and the sand was completely filled with gaps.

He asked the students again, "is the jar full?"

"Yes, it's full this time!" the students cried.

The professor smiled and took out two cans of beer and poured it into the glass pot. The sand absorbed all the beer until the last drop.

The students laughed all over here.

"Now, what I want you to understand is that the glass can represent your whole life. Stones represent the most important things in your life: family, health, friends, children.

They can make your life full and beautiful. Although other things are lost, they will accompany you throughout your life.

The professor went on, "and mung beans represent you.

The professor smiled and said, "I'm glad you asked me this question.

I just want to prove to you that no matter what you do.
