on the desk in front of him.When the final student was seated he picked up a large and.专业.专注.word 可编辑 .empty glass bottle and filled it with rocks.He then asked the students if the jar was full.They agreed that it was.2 He then picked up a box of pebbles and added them to the jar,shaking it lightly.The pebbles,of course rolled into the open areas between the rocks.After that he poured some sand into bottle.The sand filled in everything else.Finally he took 2 cans of beer and poured it into the jar.3 Through this the professor wanted his students to recognize that this jar represents our life.The rocks are the important things in our life,like our family,our health things that would still remain even if everything else were lost,and our life would still be full.The pebbles are the other things that matter like our job or our house.The sand is the small stuff in our life.If we put the sand into the jar first there is no room for the pebbles or the rocks.So he told his students to set their priorities and pay attention to things that are critical to their happiness:their family,their health The else is just sand.Read and Explore Task One Discovering the Main Ideas 1 Answer
