Big Rocks

One day, an expert was speaking to a group of business students. As this man stood in front of the group of high-powered over-achievers, he said ‘Okay, time for a quiz.’ Then he pulled out a large jar and set it on a table. 
Next he produced 12 fist-sized rocks and carefully placed them, one at a time, into the jar.
When the jar was filled to the top, and no more rocks would fit inside, he asked, ‘Is this jar full?’ Everyone in the class said, ‘Yes.’ He replied, ‘Really?’ and reached under the table to pull out a bucket of gravel.

This is so true, we tend to live in a fast moving world, we don't sit down to make a list of our priorities we just tend to go with the flow. We have many goals and don't seem to reach them because we always let other things get before them...or sometimes we think we have accomplished it all, that we've learned it all and don't give ourselves the opportunity to fill ourselves with other life learning experiences... =D
