A professor stood before his class with some things in
front of him. When the class began, he picked up a very large, empty 1 and filled it 2 golf balls.
He then asked the students if the jar was full. They
agreed it was.
The professor then 3 small pebbles(砾石) and put them into the jar. He
shook the jar slightly. The pebbles rolled into 4between
the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was 5 they agreed it was.
The professor next 6sand into the jar and it went
into the places 7between the golf balls and the 8.
He asked once more the same question. The students said,
"Yes!"
The professor then took out two cups of 9 and poured the coffee into the jar.
"Now," said the professor, "I
want you to recognize that this jar 10 your life. The golf balls are the 11 things—your
12, your children, your health and your
friends. If you lost everything else, only they would remain and your life
would still be full. The pebbles are the things that matter like your job, your 13 and your car. The
14 is the small stuff(事务)。
"If you put the sand into the jar 15 , " he continued, " there is no room
for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for 16. If you spend all your 17 and energy on the small stuff, you will never
have room for the things that are important to
you. "
One of the students 18 up and asked what the coffee stood for. The
professor smiled, "It just shows that no matter 19 full your life may seem, there's always 20 for a couple of cups coffee with a friend."
