The rock rolled down from the mountain and stopped in the middle of the main road in the village.
It was very big and shaped more or less like a ball. The village decided to move it since it was
blocking(阻塞)the street. Several of the strongest men in the village came to try to lift it out of
the road. No matter how hard they tried though, they couldn"t move it.
All of this time a young boy was watching the men trying to move the rock. “Excuse me,” he said,
“but I think I could move the rock.”
“You?”they shouted. "What are you talking about? All of us have just tried, and even together
we can"t move it a bit." They all laughed at the boy.
The next morning some villagers came into the street. To their great surprise, the rock was gone!
More people ran out to see for themselves. It was true the rock wasn"t in the road any more.
The little boy stood in the street, smiling. “I told you I could move it,” he said. “I did it last night.
”Then he walked over to where the rock had been and uncovered some dirt with a shovel(铁锹).
“You see,”he said, “I dug a deep hole next to the rock, and the rock rolled down into the hole of
itself. Then I covered it with dirt.”

point 1 , he used an illustration.
As he stood in front of the group, he said, "Okay, time for a quiz." He then pulled out a wide-mouth
jar and set it on the table. Then he 2 placed about a dozen fist-sized rocks, one by one, into the jar.
When the jar was filled to the 3 and no more rocks would fit inside, he asked, "Is this jar 4 ?"
Everyone in the class said, "Yes."
"Really?" Then he 5 under the table and pulled out a bucket of gravel (沙砾,石子), dumped some
in and 6 the jar, causing pieces of gravel to work themselves down into the space 7 the big rocks.
Then he asked the group the same question. "Probably not." One of them answered. "Good!" he replied.
He reached under the table and 8 a bucket of sand. He started dumping the sand in the jar and it
went into all the 9 left between the rocks and the gravel. 10 he asked the question. "No!" the class
shouted. "Good!" Then he grabbed a can of water and began to pour it in 11 the jar was filled to the
brim.
Then the expert in time-management looked at the class and asked, "What is the 12 of this
illustration?" It is such a seemingly easy question that one 13 student raised his hand and said, "It is,
however full your schedule is, if you try really hard you can always 14 some more things in it."
"No," the speaker replied, "The truth it teaches us is that you will 15 get them in at all if you don"t put
the big rocks in first. 16 the big rocks in your life are, do things that you love and 17 for yourself.
In your schedule if you value the little stuff then you"ll fill your life with 18 things and you will never
have the real quality time you need to spend on the big, important stuff. So, tonight, or in the morning,
when you are 19 on this short story, ask yourself what are the "big rocks" in your life? Then put those in
your 20 first."

was nothing he could do. The last time I 17 him he wasn"t the same tiny cat I had found ten years
