Cherish your time with your loved ones


Hi!! How’s it going everyone?
I hope you are doing well 😊😊

This is the first time to write my blog in English!!
I will do my best to put into words what I want to convey!

This is quite sudden, but do you know the story of a jar of mayonnaise and two cups of coffee?
I would like to talk a little about this.


When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the two cups of coffee.



A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him.
When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls.

He then asked the students if the jar was full.
They agreed that it was.

The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar.
He shook the jar lightly.
The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls.

He then asked the students again if the jar was full.
They agreed it was.

The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar.
Of course, the sand filled up everything else.

He asked once more if the jar was full.
The students responded with a unanimous “yes”.

The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand.

The students laughed.


“Now,” said the professor, as the laughter subsided,
“I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life.”

The golf balls are the important things in life.
Your God, your family, your children, your health, your friends, and your favorite passions.
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, and your car.

The sand is everything else: the small stuff.

He continued,
“If you put the sand into the jar first, there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for 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 to dinner.
There will always be time to clean house and fix the disposal.

Take care of the golf balls first: the things that really matter.
Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.

One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented.
The professor smiled. “I’m glad you asked.
It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem,
there’s always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend.”








“Cherish the golf ball of your life”


Since I returned from Sweden, my cat and my grandfather have passed away.
My cat passed away 2 days after I returned from Sweden and my grandfather passed away the same day I recently returned from my practice participation.

It was very sad and painful, but I was able to see them both at the end of their lives.
I have a little regret that I could have met them for a long time if I had gone back earlier, but I think I could have met them because I went to see them right away.


Cherish the time you spend with your loved ones.
Cherish the people you love.
There is no guarantee that that person will be there tomorrow.

Take care of those around you and your body and live every day!
I hope it’s gonna be great day for you 💛





This time, I have a very heavy story to tell😅
I hope you all cherish every second of your life 🫶

I know this is a long post, but thanks for reading to the end🙏

See you next time!
Hej då~👋
