无论在学习、工作或是生活中，大家对作文都再熟悉不过了吧，写作文是培养人们的观察力、联想力、想象力、思考力和记忆力的重要手段。如何写一篇有思想、有文采的作文呢？以下是小编收集整理的大石块The big rocks-英语作文，仅供参考，欢迎大家阅读。
One day an expert in time management was speaking to a group of business students and，to drive home a point，used an illustration those students will never forget” Then he pulled out a one—gallon，wide—mouthed Mason jar and set it on the table in front of him When the jar was filled to the top and no more rocks would fit inside，he asked，"Is the jar full？" Everyone in the class said，"Yes
他伸手到桌下提出一桶碎石，将碎石倒进瓶子里，摇晃瓶子让碎石漏进石块的间隙里去。
He asked the group once more，"Is the jar full？"
他又问学生：“瓶子装满了吗？”
By this time the class was on to him
这时学生们领悟过来了。“可能还没满吧！”一个学生回答说。
"Good！" he replied He started dumping the sand in the jar and it went into all the spaces left between the rocks and the gravel
“没满！”全班学生大声回答。
Once again he said，"Good！"
再一次，他说道：“好！”
Then he grabbed a pitcher of water and began to pour it in until the jar was filled to the brim The truth this illustration teaches us is：If you don’t put the big rocks in first，you’ll never get them in at all my wife my education charities and worthy causes doing things that I love my health"
“回答得好，不过，”专家说：“这不是我想说的。这个例子告诉我们一个事实：如果你不是先放大石块，以后它们就永远摆不进去。你生活中的‘大石块’是什么呢？在我的生活中，那就是我的`孩子、妻子、所爱的人、学习、梦想、善行和有价值的事业、教导他人、做我喜欢做的事、留给自己的时间、健康，等等。要记住，必须先放“大石块”，否则它们永远放不进去。”
If you sweat the little stuff then you’ll fill your life with little things to worry about that don’t really matter，and you’ll never have the real quality time you need to spend on the big，important stuff：the big rocks。
如果你奔忙于琐事，那么这些无关紧要的小事就会充斥你的生活，让你成天操心，你就永远没办法腾出有质量的时间来处理你的大事和要事（大石块）。
