One day, a teacher was speaking to a group of students about how to 1 their time.He gave an example those students would never forget.
He pulled out a wide jar(罐子)and put it on the table.He also took out several rocks and carefully put them into the jar one at a time.When no more rocks would 2 inside, he asked,“Is this jar full?”
Everyone in the class shouted,“Yes.”The teacher replied,“Really?”He pulled out a box of small stones.He dumped some in and 3 the jar.The stones went down into the spaces 4 the big rocks.He then asked the group once more,“Is this jar full?”
“Probably not,”one of them answered.“Good!”he replied.He brought out a glass of sand and dumped the sand into the jar and it went into all of the spaces 5 .Once more he asked the question,“Is this jar full?”
aNo!“the class started.Once again he said,”Good!“Then he poured a cup of water in 6 the jar was full.Then he asked,”What is the key point here?“One student put up his hand and said,”The key point here is that even if you are busy, you c- 7 plan everything well if you try really hard!
“No,”the speaker replied,“that's not the point.The point is if you don't put the big rocks in 8 , you'll never get them in.What are the 'big rocks' in your 9 ?Time with your loved ones, your education, or your dreams?Remember to put these big rocks in first, or you'll never get them in 10 .”
