人生中的大石头
One day, an expert in time management was speaking to
a group of students and, to drive home a point, used
an illustration those students will never forget.
一天，时间管理专家为一群学生讲课。他现场做了演示，给学生们留下了一生都难以磨灭的印象。
As he stood in front of the group of overachievers he
said, OK, time for a quiz. He pulled out a
one-gallon, wide-mouth jar and set it on the table in front of him.
He also produced about a dozen fist-sized rocks and carefully placed them,
one at a time, into the jar. When the jar was filled
to the top and no more rocks would fit inside, he asked,
Is this jar full?
站在那些高智商高学历的学生前面，他说：“我们来做个小测验”，拿出一个一加仑的广口瓶放在他面前的桌上。随后，他取出一堆拳头大小的石块，仔细地一块放进玻璃瓶。直到石块高出瓶口，再也放不下了，他问道：“瓶子满了？”
Everyone in the class yelled, Yes. The time management
expert replied, Really? He reached under the table and
pulled out a bucket of gravel. He dumped some gravel in
and shook the jar, causing pieces of gravel to work
themselves down into the spaces between the big rocks.
He then asked the group once more, Is this jar full?
所有学生应道：“满了！”。时间管理专家反问：“真的？”他伸手从桌下拿出一桶砾石，倒了一些进去，并敲击玻璃瓶壁使砾石填满下面石块的间隙。“现在瓶子满了吗？”他第二次问道。
By this time the class was on to him. Probably not, one of them answered. Good!
he replied. He reached under the table and brought out a bucket of sand. He started
dumping the sand in the jar and it went into all of the spaces left between the rocks
and the gravel. Once more he asked the question, Is this jar full?
但这一次学生有些明白了，“可能还没有”，一位学生应道。“很好！”专家说。他伸手从桌下拿出一桶沙子，开始慢慢倒进玻璃瓶。沙子填满了石块和砾石的所有间隙。他又一次问学生：“瓶子满了吗？”
No! the class shouted. Once again he said, Good. Then he grabbed a pitcher of water
and began to pour it in until the jar was filled to the brim. Then he looked at the
class and asked, What is the point of this illustration? One eager student raised
his hand and said, The point is, no matter how full your schedule is, if you try
really hard you can always fit some more things in it!
“没满！”学生们大声说。他再一次说：“很好！”然后他拿过一壶水倒进玻璃瓶直到水面与瓶口平。抬头看着学生，问道：“这个例子说明什么？”一个心急的学生举手发言：“无论你的时间多少，如果你确实努力，你可以做更多的事情！”
No, the speaker replied, thats not the point. The truth this illustration teaches
us is if you dont put the big rocks in first, youll never get them in at all. What
are the big rocks in your life? Time with your loved ones, your education, your
dreams, a worthy cause, teaching or mentoring others? Remember to put these big rocks
in first or youll never get them in at all.
“不！”时间管理专家说，“那不是它真正的意思，这个例子告诉我们：如果你不是先放大石块，那你就再也不能把它放进瓶子了。那么，什么是你生命中的大石头呢？也许是你的道德感、你的梦想？还有你的---切切记得先去处理这些大石块，否则，一辈子你都不能做！”
