One day an expert in time
management was speaking to a group of
business students and, to drive home a point, used an illustration
those students will never forget.
As this man stood in front of the group of high-powered overachievers
he said, "Okay, time for a quiz." Then he pulled out a one-gallon,
wide-mouthed mason jar and set it on a table in front of him. Then
he
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?"
Everyone in the class said, "Yes."
Then he said, "Really?" He reached under the table and pulled
out a
bucket of gravel. Then he dumped some gravel in and shook the jar
causing pieces of gravel to work themselves down into the spaces
between the big rocks.
Then he asked the group once more, "Is the jar full?" By
this time the
class was onto 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 and it went into all 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 grabbed
a pitcher of water and began to pour it in until the jar was filled
to
the brim. Then he looked up at the class and asked, "What is
the point
of this illustration?"
One eager beaver 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 into it!"
"No," the speaker replied, "that's not the point. The
truth this
illustration teaches us is: 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? Time with your loved ones?
Your faith, your education, your dreams? A worthy cause?
Teaching or mentoring others?
Remember to put these BIG ROCKS in first or you'll never get them
in
at all. --- So, tonight or in the morning when you are reflecting
on
this short story, ask yourself this question: What are the 'big rocks'
in my life or business? Then, put those in your jar first.
