First
Things First:
To Live, to Love, to Learn, to Leave a Legacy
by Stephen R. Covey
Here's a great story from
the book: (pages 88-89)
This associate of Covey's
had attended a seminar where the instructor gave the class a quiz.
He reached under the counter he was lecturing behind and took out a wide-mouth
gallon jar. He set it on the counter next to a platter with some
fist-sized rocks on it. "How many of these rocks do you think we can get
into this jar?" he asked. After the class guessed, he began to put
the rocks into the jar. When he had gotten as many rocks into the
jar as he could he asked, "Is the jar full?" The class looked at the jar
and said, "Yes." Then he said, "Ahh!" He reached under the
table and pulled out a bucket of gravel and began to pour it in on top
of the rocks in the jar. The gravel filled in the spaces around the
big rocks. Once more he said, "Is the jar full?" By this time
the class was on to him and said, "Probably not." "Good!" he replied.
And then he reached under the counter again and brought out a bucket of
sand. He started dumping the sand in and it went in all the little
spaces left by the rocks and the gravel. "Is the jar full?" he asked
again. "No!!" the class roared. "Right!" and he took out a
pitcher of water and began to pour it into the jar. He got about
a quart of water in the jar. "Well here's the big question," he said,
"What's the point?" One student at the seminar said, "There are gaps
in your schedule and if you work at it you can always fit more into your
life." "No," said the instructor. "The point is this: If
you hadn't put these big rocks in first, you never would have gotten them
in!"
In other words, do the big
stuff first. |
