6.1. Read the story below and render it in English. The Big Rocks of Time
In First Things First, Stephen Covey tells a great story:
One day an expert in time management was speaking to a group of business students. As he stood in front of the group he said, "Okay, time for a quiz" He then pulled out a one-gallon (4-4.5л), wide-mouthed mason jar (керамический сосуд) and set it on the table. He took about a dozen fist-sized (величиной с кулак) rocks and placed them into the jar. When the jar was filled to the top, he asked, "Is this jar full?" Everyone in the class said, "Yes." Then he said, "Really?"
Then he put some gravel into the jar and shook it. The gravel fell down into the space between the big rocks. Then he asked the group once more, "Is the jar full?" By this time the class was on (понять) to him. "Probably not," one of them answered. "Good!" he replied. Then he put some sand into the jar until it filled the spaces left between the rocks and the gravel. Once more he asked the question, "Is this jar full?" No!" the class shouted. Once again he said, "Good." Then he took some 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 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!" "No," the speaker replied, "that's not the point." "The truth this illustration teaches us is that if you don't put the big rocks in first, you'll never get them in at all. What are the 'big rocks' in your life? Your children, your loved ones, your education, your dreams, teaching others, doing things that you love, your health, your mate. Remember to put these BIG ROCKS in first or you'll never get them in at all.
So, tonight, or in the morning ask yourself this question: What are the 'big rocks' in my life? Then, put those in your jar first.
