The bucket and stones

The teacher held up a large transparent bucket of big stones. He asked his class of college students, "Is this bucket full?"

"Yes, sir!" most replied.

So, he reached down by his desk, took out a jar of small pebbles and poured them into the bucket. "Is it full now?" he asked.

"Yes, sir!" some replied.

So, he reached down, picked up a jar of sand and carefully poured the sand into the bucket. "NOW it's full," he said.

A student stood up with a bottle of beer. He walked up to the bucket, popped the top off the bottle, and poured the beer into the bucket.

"It's full NOW, sir!" he said.

The moral of the story? No matter how full your life is, there's always room for some beer.
