The business consultant and time management

An expert advisory firms in Time Management wanted to surprise the audience with his lecture.

Pulled out from under the desk a large wide-mouth bottle. Put it on the table next to a tray with stones the size of a fist and said,

"How many stones they think fit in the jar?"

after the participants made their guesses, began to put stones until they filled the bottle. Then he asked:

"Are you full?"

Everyone looked at him and nodded.

Then he pulled out from under the table a bucket with gravel. He put part of the gravel into the jar and shook it. The stones broke through the spaces left by large rocks.

The expert wryly smiled and repeated:

"Are you full?".
This time the audience doubted:
"Maybe not "

"!Well! "

And put on the table a bucket of sand began to pour into the jar.

The sand filtered into the small crevices left by the stones and gravel.

"Are you full?" asked again.

"No," cried the audience.

"Well, "he said, and picked up a jar one-liter water began to pour into the jar.

The bottle was full yet.

"Well, what have we proved?" he asked.

One student replied:

"That no matter how full your schedule is, if you try, you can always fit more things"

"No," the expert concluded:

what this lesson teaches us is that if you do not put the big rocks first, you can never put them on after.

What are the big rocks in your life?.

Your friends, your children, your dreams, your health, your loved one .... Remember, put them first.
