slower. Remember Christmas Eve when you were a child? It was the longest night of the year. It lasted
forever! And now it seems like I just paid my bill yesterday… and it"s due again!
People tell me all too frequently… I need more time! Oh, really?… Mother Teresa, Michelangelo,
and Helen Keller all had 24 hours a day. Look what they did with their time!
Is it that we need to manage our time better… or our priorities(重点)? You"ve heard the expression
"first things first". The first step in understanding the power of time is to understand that it is limited. Why
is it then that some people get a lot more done? We know the answer. They use their time smartly.
One day an expert on time management was speaking to a group of students and announced a quiz.
He pulls out a wide-mouthed jar. Next,he places about a dozen fist-sized rocks, one at a time, into the
jar, until no more will fit. "Is it full?" he asks. "Yes," responds the class. "Oh really?" he asks. So he takes
out a bucket of gravel(砂砾), which he manages to work down into the spaces between the larger rocks. "Is it full now?" he asks.
Wising up, one answered, "Probably not." Sure enough . He takes out a bucket of sand, which he
pours into the empty spaces. "Is it full now?" he asks. "No" reply the students confidently. So he takes a
glass of water and fills it in. Then he asks, "What is my point?""
One said, "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, "It tells us if you don"t put the big rocks in first, you"ll never get them in at
all."
What are the big rocks? The things you should put in to your jar first.
The rich don"t get 25 hours and the poor don"t get 23… we all get the same. Let"s use them wisely!

| Once upon a time, there was a little weasel (鼬鼠). His name was Horace. Unlike all the other weasels, Horace was very bookish. He had a copy of The Little Prince that he had found out behind a chicken house. The third chapter of the book was missing and the back cover was broken, but it was the only book he had, and he loved it. While all the other weasels spent their time playing, Horace would read instead. This made the other weasels surprised, but they let it go by. Then, one day, the Earth was invaded (入侵) by space aliens. These aliens were a group of giant librarians. Because they were librarians, they had of course done their research before they began their invasion. Meanwhile, the librarians went out to make contact with the species with whom they felt the most affinity (密切关系). They had hoped that they could find the great works of weasel literature, but they found that this was not so. The giant weasel librarian aliens were very disappointed. "Is there no weasel at all who loves books as we do?" (Naturally, they had learned to speak the weasel language.) "No," said the weasels. At last, they came to the town where Horace lived. Here the weasels said "Yes!" They found Horace and placed him in their libraries, where at last he got a complete edition of The Little Prince. He read it every day for the rest of his life. | |||||||||||||

| More Than I Had Dreamed Of From the time I was seven, I had a dream of becoming a member of the Students Union. I always 1 my school leaders for taking responsibility for all of us. So I dreamed of being a leader. Years flew by, and soon I was able to participate in the elections, 2 I would win. But the reality struck that I hadn"t had a chance. I wasn"t pretty. Girls across the school hardly knew me. I just did not have what it 3 to win a school election. I was 4 . As I cried in my room that evening, I 5 took a deep breath and decided I wouldn"t stop dreaming. I decided that I would 6 elections again in my final year at school-and I would win. I recognized that my 7 had a lot of things in their favor. What were the 8 that would work in my favor? I had good grades, and I was friendly and helpful. And my biggest 9 was the faith I had. I would not allow my 10 appearance to hold me back from putting my best foot forward. That evening, I 11 my election plans a whole year in advance.

In order to learn how to present a great election 14 , I also attended a course on effective public speaking. The day after the election, when the principal announced I won the second highest number of votes, the students 15 . That joy on the faces of all my friends showed me that my victory was 16 theirs. Suddenly, I realized that I had 17 much more than I had dreamed of. I had made many new friends and had helped people 18 the way. I had won the 19 and love of my school-mates and they knew me as somebody who would stand by them. I was able to put a smile on their faces and 20 their day. | |||||||||||||
