The Mayonnaise Jar and 2 Cups of Coffee

Some food for thought.

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 cups of coffee.

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. Continue Reading »

London.

My obssession with London has not stopped yet. I have been reading up all I can about London and how I can make my obssession a reality.

That being said, I have been researching how much going to London would actually cost - airfare, hotel bookings, tours, food - the whole shebang. I need an actual cost so that the goal would be more realistic. I have found a site that makes hotel booking easy, and it caters to a lot of key cities around the world. It is aptly named Easytobook.com.

So they feature and have a list of London Hotels available and I was attracted to their Hotel of the Month - Novotel West London (1 Shortlands, W6 8DR London). It is an award-winning four star hotel with their trademark Novation rooms. It is prime booking hotel spot for some serious shoppers as it is ideal for people who want to visit Harrods, Kensington Palace and Gardens and museums. It boasts of offers 629 spacious en-suite classic and superior bedrooms, two restaurants, two bars, fitness centre, beauty salon, business centre, pay parking on-site, as well as state of the art meeting and convention facilities within 5,500 square metres of flexible space. Not bad, eh?

I would like hotels near the museums though so I need to search some more.
