On choices and time

There's an e-mail telling me on how to insert golf balls, pebbles, sand and coffee to fit in a jar. Fill it first with golf balls, pebbles, sand and finally coffee, so that the jar will be enough for the whole things. Say that the jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things - your God, family, children, health and friends. The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, house, and car. The sand is everything else - the small stuff. And dont ever forget for a couple of cups of coffee. Take care of the golf balls first, the things that really matter.

Perhaps anyone of us would probably realize that our life is shaped by the time. On when is the right time to wake up, to be in the office, to have lunch, to get back home and finally go to bed. But time did'nt tell us when it stops. If God grant me for 25 years to live, isnt i just too old now? Too old to get my jar filled. I'm running out of time too.
