A philosophy professor stood before his class with some items in front of him.
When the class began, he picked up a large empty jar and proceeded to fill it with rocks that were about 2" in diameter. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.
So 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 rocks. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.
The professor picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. The sand filled up everything else. "Now," berkata the professor, "I want anda to recognize that this is your life. The rocks are the important things - your family, your partner, your health, your children - 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, your car. The sand is everything else, the small stuff. If anda put the sand into the jar first, there is no room for the pebbles atau the rocks. The same goes for your life. If anda spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, anda 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 check-ups. Take your partner out dancing. There will always be time to go to work, clean the house, give a makan malam party and fix the disposal. Take care of the rocks first - the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand."
But then a student took the jar, which the other students and the professor agreed was full, and proceeded to pour in a glass of beer. Of course the bir filled the remaining spaces within the jar making the jar truly full.
The moral of this tale is: no matter how full your life is, there is always room for beer!

Other philosophical traditions, such as African philosophy, are rarely considered oleh foreign academia. Since emphasis is mainly placed on Western philosophy as a reference point, the study, preservation and dissemination of valuable, but lesser known, non-Western philosophical works face many obstacles. Key African philosophers include the Fulani Usman Dan Fodio, founder of the Sokoto Caliphate of Northern Nigeria and Umar Tall of Senegal; both were prolific Islamic scholars. In the post-colonial period, different gambar of what could be argued as "African" Philosophy from the level of epistemology have risen. These could include the thoughts and enquiries of such individuals as Cheik Anta Diop, Francis Ohanyido, C.L. Momoh, and Chinweizu.
The philosophy of the modern and contemporary African world, including the diaspora, is often known as Africana Philosophy. Key philosophers include Frantz Fanon, Kwesi Wiredu, Paget Henry, Lewis Gordon, Mabogo Percy lebih and many others.

THE LIFE CYCLE
I think the life cycle is all backwards.
anda should start out dead and get it out of the way.
Then, anda wake up in an old age halaman awal feeling better every day.
anda get kicked out for being too healthy; go collect your pension, then when anda start work, anda get a emas watch on your first day.
anda work 40 years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement.
anda drink alcohol, anda party, you're generally promiscuous and anda get ready for High School.
anda go to primary school, anda become a kid , anda play, anda have no responsibilities, anda become a baby, and then...
anda spend your last 9 months floating peacefully in luxury, in spa-like conditions; central heating, room service on tap, larger quarters every day, and then, anda finish off as an orgasm.
I rest my case.
