Filling the Jar
Imagine this jar is your life.
Take the jar and fill it with rocks. Is the jar full It certainly looks that way, doesn't it
Well, now add some pebbles, smaller than the rocks. Give the jar a shake. The pebbles all fit in the spaces in the jar.
Is the jar full now Again, it does seem so. But...
Now let's add some sand. Look! We can fit quite a bit of sand in there, can't we Surely the jar has to be full now, right
Here's a cup of tea. Pour it slowly... Look at that. It fits into the jar, too!
Let's think about this. There's only one jar: that is the one life you have. It's a life where you can do anything, if you spend your time well.
The rocks are the most important things in your life: your family, your friends, your health, your hopes and dreams.

装满罐子
想象一下这个罐子就是你的生命。
拿起罐子,把它装满石头。罐子满了?它看起来肯定是满的,不是吗?
现在,再加入一些比石头小的鹅卵石。摇晃一下罐子,鹅卵石都能填满罐子里的空隙。
罐子现在满了吗?再次,它看起来确实如此。但是...
现在让我们加一些沙子。看!我们可以在里面放很多沙子,对吧?现在罐子肯定满了,对吗?
来杯茶。慢慢倒...看,它也能放进罐子里!
让我们思考一下。只有一个罐子:那就是你拥有的一次生命。这是一个你可以做任何事情的生命,如果你好好利用时间的话。
石头是你生命中最重要的东西:你的家人,你的朋友,你的健康,你的希望和梦想。

Filling the Jar
The pebbles They are the other important things you need to keep your life going: your job, your house, things like that.
What about the sand The sand is all the little things in life, the annoying things that distract you and take up so much of your time if you're not careful.
What would happen if you put the sand in the jar first You'd never have room for the pebbles, let alone the rocks. In the same way, if you waste your time worrying about all the small things in life, you'll never have time for the things that are really important to you. So, concentrate on the important things first. Don't worry about the small stuff!
And the tea That's easy. No matter how busy you are in life, you should always find time to have a cup of tea and a talk with a good friend!

装满罐子
鹅卵石?它们是让你生活继续下去的其他重要事物:你的工作、你的房子,诸如此类的东西。
那沙子呢?沙子就是生活中的小事情,那些烦人的事情,如果你不小心,会分散你的注意力,占用你很多时间。
如果你先放沙子到罐子里会发生什么?你永远不会有空间放鹅卵石,更别说石头了。同样地,如果你浪费时间担心生活中的所有小事,你将永远没有时间做真正对你来说重要的事情。所以,先集中精力做重要的事情。不要担心小事!
那茶呢?这很简单。无论你有多忙,你都应该找时间喝杯茶,和好朋友聊聊天!

3 What are the “rocks” in your life
How much time do you spend on “rocks”, “pebbles”, “sand” and “tea”
The “rocks” in my life are study now. And most of my time has been spent on it while the “pebbles” and “sand” take up one or two hours every day. I have no time for “tea” actually.
