One night, I complained to my mom
about the lack of time.
Finally she said,＂you are short of time just
because you waste precious minutes
on complaints and anxiety.
The point is, no matter how full your schedule is,
if you try really hard,
you can always fit in some thing more.＂
It is the same with filling the jar.
Even if you place a dozen fist-sized rocks
and a bucket of gravel into the jar,
there is still space for sand and water
between the rocks and gravel.
有天晚上，我向妈妈抱怨
自己事情太多，时间不够。
她说道：“你抱怨没有时间就是
因为你把珍贵的分分秒秒都浪费在抱怨和焦虑上。
关键是，无论你的时间表排得多满，
如果你真的努力尝试了，
你还是总能间插地做些事情。”
这同填充广口瓶是一个道理，
即使你将一小堆拳头大小的石块
和一桶碎石倒进瓶里，
也还能继续倒入沙子和水，
使其漏进石块的间隙中去。 |
