Philosophy Class

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 - your God, 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.

"If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued, "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.

"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 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 cup of talks with a friend."

New rules in ICC!!!

(1) Ricky Ponting - (THE TRULY GENUINE CRICKETER OF THE CRICKET
ERA AND WHOSE INTEGRITY SHOULD NOT BE DOUBTED) should be considered
as the FOURTH UMPIRE. As per the new rules, FOURTH UMPIRE decision is
final and will over ride any decisions taken by any other umpires.
ON-FIELD umpires can seek the assistance of RICKY PONTING even if he
is not on the field. This rule is to be made, so that every team
should understand the importance of the FOURTH UMPIRE.

(2) While AUSTRALIAN TEAM is bowling, If the ball flies anywhere
close to the AUSTRALIAN FIELDER(WITHIN 5 meter distance), the batsman
is to be considered OUT irrelevant of whether the catch was taken
cleanly or grassed. Any decision for further clarification should be
sought from the FOURTH UMPIRE. This is made to ensure that the
cricket is played with SPORTIVE SPIRIT by all the teams.

(3) While BATTING, AUSTRALIAN players will wait for the ON-FIELD
UMPIRE decisions only (even if the catch goes to the FIFTH SLIP as
the ball might not have touched the bat). Each AUSTRALIAN batsman has
to be out FOUR TIMES (minimum) before he can return to the pavilion.
In case of THE CRICKETER WITH INTEGRITY, this can be higher.

(4) UMPIRES should consider a huge bonus if an AUSTRALIAN player
scores a century. Any wrong decisions can be ignored as they will be
paid huge bonus and will receive the backing of the AUSTRALIAN team
and board.

(5) All AUSTRALIAN players are eligible to keep commenting about
all players on the field and the OPPONENT TEAM should never comment
as they will be spoiling the spirit of the AUSTRALIAN team. Any
comments made in any other language are to be considered as RACIALISM
only.

(6) MATCH REFREE decisions will be taken purely on the AUSTRALIAN
TEAM advices only. Player views from the other teams decisions will
not be considered for hearing. MATCH REFREES are to be given huge
bonus if this rule is implemented.

(7) NO VISITING TEAM should plan to win in AUSTRALIA. This is to
ensure that the sportive spirit of CRICKET is maintained.

(8) THE MOST IMPORTANT RULE: If any bowler gets RICKY PONTING -
"THE UNDISPUTED CRICKETER WITH INTEGTIRY IN THE GAME OF CRICKET" more
than twice in a series, he will be banned for the REST OF THE SERIES.
This is to ensure that the best batsman/Captain will be played to
break records and create history in the game of CRICKET.

These rules will clarify better to the all the teams VISITING
AUSTRALIA.
