safe place
security
van
Bob
film 4 +1
skittles
pebbles
I will explain:
get a glass and fill it with a few large pebbles (these represent the big things in life which are worth throwing most of your energy and time into)
Now taking smaller pebbles or gravel it is possible to fit these in the space inbetween (this represents other tasks which use a lot of time)
Now throw in sand and the glass seems full (this is all the stuff we busy ourself with in life)
Is the glass full [yes comes the reply from the crowd]
but watch: as I am able to pour in some beer - truely filling in the gaps!
Some consider this tale to highlight that if we first filled the glass with sand-like activities we (as Fathers) would struggle to make time for the important things like Family, relationship ....
Nor would be have time for work etc
Others consider this tale to prove that we would always have time for BEER
