Dr.Dang's message:

 

All of us being a bundle of perfections & imperfections, we may desire more but our roles are predestined. Love, Happiness & Contentment come together. To do our work full heartedly is an achievement in its own way.

A philosophy professor stood before his class and had some items in front of him when the class began. He picked up a large empty jar and proceeded to fill it with rocks. He then asked the students, if the jar was full. They agreed that it was full. He then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar and shook it lightly. The pebbles, of course, rolled into the spaces between the rocks. Then he asked the students again, if the jar was full, and they agreed. The professor now poured sand into the jar, of course the sand filled up everything else. Now said the professor, "I want you to recognize that this is your life". The rocks are the important things, family, health & the person you love. Things that, if everything else was lost and only they remain your life is full still. The pebbles are other things that matter, like your job, house & your worldly possessions. The sand is everything else, "THE SMALL STUFF".
