參考譯文
一天,老師向一群學生傳授怎樣安排時間。他舉了一個讓所有學生永生難忘的例子。
他拿出一只廣口瓶放在桌上。又拿出幾塊石頭,小心翼翼地一次一個放進瓶子里。當瓶子再也裝不下一塊石頭時,他問:“瓶子滿了嗎?”
班里的學生都說:“滿了。”老師又問:“真的嗎?”隨后拿出一盒小石子。他往瓶子里倒進一些小石子,然后搖搖。小石子填進石頭之間的空隙里。然后,他又問這群學生:“瓶子滿了嗎?”
一名學生說:“也許還沒滿吧?!薄昂芎谩!彼鸬?。他拿出一杯沙子往瓶子里倒進去,沙子立刻填滿剩余的所有空隙。他又問學生同樣的問題:“瓶子滿了嗎?”
“沒有!”全班同學高喊道。他又說:“很好!”接著將一杯水往瓶子里倒,直到瓶子完全滿了。接著他又問:“這次演示的關鍵是什么?”一名學生舉手答道:“這次演示的關鍵是:即使你很忙,只要認真嘗試,還是能把所有事情都安排得井井有條?!?/p>
“不是這樣,”老師答道,“這不是要點。要點是,如果一開始不先放大石頭,你就永遠無法將它們?nèi)挤胚M去。什么是你生命中的‘大石頭’呢?和你所愛的人在一起的時間,還是你所受的教育或夢想?記住:先把這些大石頭放進去,否則你就完全沒有辦法將它們?nèi)挤胚M去了?!?/p>
