人活的有多聪明其实并不是最重要,人要活得有悟性!
Rocks and Sand
A philosophy professor(哲学教授) stood before his class and had some items in front of him. When class began, wordlessly he picked up a large empty mayonnaise (蛋黄酱)jar(罐) and proceeded to fill it with rocks, rocks about 2" in diameter.
He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.
So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles(小鹅卵石) and poured theminto the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles, of course,rolled into the open areas between the rocks(大石之间的空隙).
He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.
The students laughed. The professor picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else.
"Now," said the professor, "I want you to recognize that this is your life. The rocks are the important things - your family, your partner, your health, your children - anything that is so important to you that if it were lost, you would be nearly destroyed.
"The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house, your car.
"The sand is everything else. The small stuff.
"If you put the sand into the jar first, there is no room for the pebbles or the rocks. The same goes for your life. If you spend all your energy and time on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you.
"Pay attention to the things that are critical(至关重要) to your happiness.
Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups(体检). Take your partner out dancing. There will always be time to go to work, clean the house, give a dinner party and fix the disposal.
"Take care of the rocks first - the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand."
When it rains, it pours
