Mr．Brown is a science teacher．One day he wanted to show something important to his students．
The teacher took a large﹣mouth bottle． ①He asked the class，"Is the bottle full now？"They all replied"Yes!"
The teacher then took some small rocks and put them into the bottle． ②The small rocks went into the spaces between the big rocks．He then asked．"Is it full？"This time some students didn't give an answer，but most replied，"Yes!"
The teacher then started to drop some sand into the bottle．The sand filled up the spaces between the small rocks． ③For the third time，the teacher asked，"Is it full？"Now most students were doubting，but still some replied，"Yes!"
Then the teacher brought out a cup of water into the bottle． ④
"What's the point of this show？"asked the teacher．One bright student answered，"No matter how busy you are，you can always find time to do some more things．
"No，"said the teacher．"The point is that if you don't place the big rocks into the bottle first，you'll never get them in．The big rocks are the important things in your life．If you fill your life with small things﹣﹣﹣﹣﹣as shown by the small rocks，the sand and the water﹣﹣﹣﹣﹣you'll never have the time for the important things"
