"Time"
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 he stood in front of the group of high powered over achievers
he said, "Okay, time for a quiz." He pulled out a one gallon, wide
mouthed Mason jar and set it on the table in front of him. 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."
He said, "Really?"
He reached under the table and pulled out a bucket of gravel,
dumped some 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 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
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. He looked 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 in 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? Your children; your loved
ones; your education; your dreams; a worthy cause; teaching or
mentoring others; doing things that you love; time for yourself;
your health? What are the 'big rocks' in your life? Put those in
your jar first.

"Where there is hate, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light."
- St. Francis of Assisi (1182-1226)
Italian religious leader
