“No,” the class shouted. Once more the teacher said, “Good.” He poured a cup of water into the jar   10  it was full. The he asked, “What is the point here?” One student   11  his hand and said, “The point is that if you try really hard, you can   12  put more things in.”
“No,” the teacher replied, “that’s not the  13  . What I want to tell you is that if you don’t put the big rocks in first, you will never get others in at all.   14  are the ‘big rocks’ in your life?
