A Mayonnaise Jar and Two Beers....

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 2 Beers.



Click Here

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, he wordlessly 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 Beers 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---your family, your children, your health, your friends and your favorite passions---and 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.

'If you put the sand into the jar first,' he continued, 'there is no room for the pebbles or 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. Spend time with your children. Spend time with your parents. Visit with grandparents. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your spouse out to dinner. Play another 18.

There will always be time to clean the 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 Beer represented...

The professor smiled and said, 'I'm glad you asked.' The Beer just shows you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of Beers with a friend.

Basketball Shoe Buying Tips from Victory Shoe Shop



Basketball Shoe Buying Tips

  1. Durability

    1. Whether you're playing on a
      concrete court in a public park, or on the floor of a first class
      gymnasium, your shoes are going to get a work out. Look for quality
      brands and materials that will stand up to all of the up and
      down the court action you're bound to encounter.


  2. Stability Support and Cushioning

    1. Of course, your basketball shoes
      are going to need first class stability, so, look for shoes that
      feature mid-foot, heel and ankle support, as well as a quality
      lacing system. You'll also want to consider a lot of padding
      in the shoe for load distribution and added cushioning. After
      all, countless jump shots can cause quite an impact on your feet.


  3. Breathability

    1. During a game, you're going
      to sweat. Look for basketball shoes with uppers made of leather,
      nylon, mesh, or other breathable material to remain as cool as
      you can.


  4. Style

    1. Half of the fun in buying basketball
      shoes, is in getting a pair that looks great, and makes all your
      buddies jealous.

Running Shoe Buying Tips from Victory Shoe Shop


Running Shoe Buying Tips
  1. Shop late in the day -- your
    feet swell during the day.

  2. Measure your foot while standing.
  3. Try on both shoes with the socks
    you will wear.

  4. Buy for your larger foot (feet
    are rarely the same exact size).

  5. Allow a thumbnail's width between
    the shoe and your big toe.

  6. Choose shoes that are comfortable
    immediately. If they hurt in the store, don't buy them.

  7. Look for a moderately priced
    shoe. Price is not necessarily an indication of quality. Research
    has shown that moderately priced running shoes work just as well
    as expensive ones.

  8. Make sure the shoe matches your
    foot type and running style.

  9. Wear new shoes around the house
    before using them on short runs.

  10. Don't do a long run in new shoes.
    Start out with a short run and stop if you have any hot spots,
    which are a warning sign that a blister is on the way.

  11. Consider having an evaluation
    by a doctor, physical therapist, or podiatrist to learn your
    foot type.
