A teacher stood in the classroom with some things on the desk in front of him. When the class began, 1 saying anything, he 2 a large and empty jar and filled it with rocks.
He then asked the students 3 the jar was full. They agreed that it was.
Then he picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He 4 the jar lightly. The pebbles, of course, rolled into the spaces 5 the rocks.
“Is the jar 6 now?” he asked. They agreed that it was.
He poured a box of sand into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up the spaces of the jar.
“What about now?”
The students said, “It’s full.”
“Now,” said the teacher, “I want you to know 7 this jar is like your life. The 8 are the important things—your 9, your partner and your children—if everything else were 10 and only they remained, your life would 11 be full. The pebbles are the other things that matter—like your job, your house and your car. The sand is everything else, the small things. If you put the sand into the jar 12, there will be no room for the pebbles or the rocks. The same goes for your life. If you 13 all your time and energy on the small things, you will never have time or energy for important things. 14 the things that are important to your happiness. Play with your children. Take your partner out to dance. There will 15 be time to go to work, clean the house and have a dinner party.”
