22 stood before his class with some items on the table in front of him． Students were curious but the professor without looking at them
23 a very large and empty jar．And then he started to
24 it with small rocks．
25 the jar appeared full, the professor asked his students whether the jar was full
The entire class
26 that jar was indeed full．Next, the professor picked up some
27 and began pouring them into the jar．The moment pouring was
28 , he shook the jar lightly．As a result of that, all the small rocks
29 the open areas between the rocks comfortably．
Professor again asked the students if the jar is full．Same
30 from the class like before．Professor
31 a bit but silently, and this time he picked up a box of sand．He poured the box into the jar and sand filled the entire
32 spaces．At the same time, professor
33 his question to the class, if the jar was full? Yes again．
Professor now
34 towards the class and said, this jar
35 your life．All the things in the jar I poured mean some important lessons．The rocks are the most important things,
36 is family, your partner, health and your
37 ．Even if everything else in your life goes away but the rocks remains there, your life would still be full
38 the most important things are still present in your life．Pebbles represent other significant things like car, house and job etc．And the sand is the small stuff or everything else．
