| The Mayonnaise Jar. | O pote de maionese. |
| A philosophy professor once stood up before his class with a large empty mayonnaise jar. | Um professor de filosofia certa vez se levantou diante de sua classe com um grande pote de maionese vazio. |
| He filled the jar to the top with large rocks and asked his students if the jar was full. | Ele encheu a jarra com pedras grandes e perguntou aos alunos se a jarra estava cheia. |
| His students all agreed the jar was full. | Todos os alunos concordaram que o pote estava cheio. |
| He then added small pebbles to the jar, and gave the jar a bit of a shake so the pebbles could disperse themselves among the larger rocks. | Ele então adicionou pequenos seixos ao jarro e sacudiu o jarro um pouco para que os seixos pudessem se dispersar entre as pedras maiores. |
| Then he asked again, "Is the jar full now?" | Em seguida, ele perguntou novamente: "O frasco está cheio agora?" |
| The students agreed that the jar was still full. | Os alunos concordaram que o frasco ainda estava cheio. |
| The professor then poured sand into the jar to fill up all the remaining empty space. | O professor então despejou areia na jarra para preencher todo o espaço vazio restante. |
| The students then agreed again that the jar was full. | Os alunos então concordaram novamente que o frasco estava cheio. |
| The Metaphor. | A metáfora. |
| In this story, the jar represents your life and the rocks, pebbles, and sand are the things that fill up your life. | Nesta história, o jarro representa a sua vida e as rochas, seixos e areia são as coisas que preenchem a sua vida. |
| The rocks represent the most important projects and things you have going on, such as spending time with your family and maintaining proper health. | As pedras representam os projetos e as coisas mais importantes que você está realizando, como passar tempo com sua família e manter uma saúde adequada. |
| This means that if the pebbles and the sand were lost, the jar would still be full and your life would still have meaning. | Isso significa que se as pedras e a areia se perdessem, o jarro ainda estaria cheio e sua vida ainda teria significado. |
| The pebbles represent the things in your life that matter, but that you could live without. | As pedras representam as coisas que importam em sua vida, mas sem as quais você poderia viver. |
| The pebbles are certainly things that give your life meaning (such as your job, house, hobbies, and friendships), but they are not critical for you to have a meaningful life. | As pedras são certamente coisas que dão sentido à sua vida (como seu trabalho, casa, hobbies e amizades), mas não são essenciais para você ter uma vida significativa. |
| These things often come and go, and are not permanent or essential to your overall well-being. | Essas coisas costumam ir e vir e não são permanentes ou essenciais para o seu bem-estar geral. |
| Finally, the sand represents the remaining filler things in your life, and material possessions. | Finalmente, a areia representa as coisas restantes que preenchem a sua vida e posses materiais. |
| This could be small things such as watching television, browsing through your favorite social media site, or running errands. | Podem ser pequenas coisas, como assistir televisão, navegar em seu site de mídia social favorito ou fazer tarefas. |
| These things don't mean much to your life as a whole, and are likely only done to waste time or get small tasks accomplished. | Essas coisas não significam muito para a sua vida como um todo e provavelmente são feitas apenas para passar o tempo ou realizar pequenas tarefas. |
| The Moral | A moral. |
| The metaphor here is that if you start with putting sand into the jar, you will not have room for rocks or pebbles. | A metáfora aqui é que, se você começar colocando areia na jarra, não terá espaço para pedras ou seixos. |
| This holds true with the things you let into your life. | Isso vale para as coisas que você deixa entrar em sua vida. |
| If you spend all of your time on the small and insignificant things, you will run out of room for the things that are actually important. | Se você gastar todo o seu tempo com coisas pequenas e insignificantes, ficará sem espaço para as coisas que são realmente importantes. |
| In order to have a more effective and efficient life, pay attention to the "rocks", because they are critical to your long-term well-being. | Para ter uma vida mais eficaz e eficiente, preste atenção nas "Pedras", porque são essenciais para o seu bem-estar a longo prazo. |
