One day, an expert in time-management was speaking to a group of business students. To make the point

21 , he used an illustration.

As he stood in front of the group, he said, “Okay, time for a quiz.” He then pulled out a wide-mouth jar and set it on the table. Then he 22 placed about a dozen fist-sized rocks, one by one, into the jar.

When the jar was filled to the 23 and no more rocks would fit inside, he asked, “Is this jar 24 ?” Everyone in the class said, “Yes.”

“Really?” Then he 25 under the table and pulled out a bucket of gravel(沙砾，石子)，dumped some in and 26 the jar, causing pieces of gravel to work themselves down into the space 27 the big rocks. Then he asked the group the same question. “Probably not.” One of them answered. “Good!” he replied.

He reached under the table and 28 a bucket of sand. He started dumping the sand in the jar and it went into all the 29 left between the rocks and the gravel. 30 he asked the question. “No!” the class shouted. “Good!” Then he grabbed a can of water and began to pour it in 31 the jar was filled to the brim.

Then the expert in time-management looked at the class and asked, “What is the 32 of this illustration?” It is such a seemingly easy question that one 33 student raised his hand and said, “It is, however full your schedule is, if you try really hard you can always 34 some more things in it.”

“No,” the speaker replied, “The truth it teaches us is that you will 35 get them in at all if you don’t put the big rocks in first. 36 the big rocks in your life are, do things that you love and 37 for yourself. In your schedule if you value the little stuff then you’ll fill your life with 38 things and you will never have the real quality time you need to spend on the big, important stuff. So, tonight, or in the morning, when you are 39 on this short story, ask yourself what are the ‘big rocks’ in your life? Then put those in your 40 first.”
