One day, an expert on 'Time Management' to speak in front of a group of business students, and he used an illustration which will not easily be forgotten by his students.
When he stood in front of her students who spend a large-mouthed jar is quite big, and put it on the table.
Then he also spent about a dozen handfuls of hand-sized rocks and carefully placed the stones into the jar.
When the stone meet the jar to the top and no more stones which fit to enter into it, he asked: " Is this jar full? " All students simultaneously replied, "It!"
Then he said, "Really?"
He then reached under the table a basket of kerikil.Lalu he put pebbles into toplessambil shook a little, so that the gravel was a place among the crevices of the stones.
Then she asked the students once again: "Is this jar full?"
This time the students just stunned, "Maybe not yet!", One of the students answered.
"Great!" he replied.
Back he took down the table and pulled out a basket of sand. He began entering the sand into the jar, and sand it with ease directly fulfill the empty spaces between the gravel and rocks.
Once again he asked, "Is this jar full? "
"Not yet!" Concurrent students answer. Once again he said,
"Great!"
Then he took a bottle of water and started spraying water into the jar until the jar was filled to the brim.
Then the Expert Time Management is looking to his students and asks:
"What is purpose of this illustration?"
An enthusiastic students who immediately replied:
"That is, no matter how full your schedule, if you try you still can insert another schedule into it!"
"No!", Replied the expert, "not the point.
Actually, this illustration teaches us that:
IF THE BIG STONE NOT THE FIRST TIME YOU ENTER, THEN YOU WILL NEVER BE PUT BIG STONE  INTO THE JAR.
"Are large stones in your life? Perhaps your children, husband / wife, the people who you love, friendship, health, dreams. The things you consider most valuable in your life.
Remember to always put the big rocks such as the first reply, or you'll never have time to notice. If you prefer the small things in your time priorities, then you only fulfill your life with small things, you will not have time to do the great and precious in your life. "
"Because life does not run backwards, was not drowned in the past
