A story in the homeroom of a certain school. A teacher in charge entered the classroom with a container of the big glass, a considerably big loadage in koku unit, a loadage in koku unit smaller than it, gravel and sand. And I began an experiment using them. Firstly I put a big rock in the container quietly, and I put sand last, and the container was full, and gravel was met with an average stone more next.
Then the teacher said to the students who saw it after I provided all the things which I put in the container. "Will you fill this container once again?", and one student raised hand and began work. She put sand first, and then she was going to put gravel and a big stone a small stone more. However, I was not able to put all.
The teacher said to a student on seeing it. "I had noticed on seeing two present experiments", or one student answered. The teacher who "is not to all enter if turns to pour are different" continues it. "I do not finish entering when I do not think about how to put in so big thing and small things well. We just did an experiment to put several types of things in one container. Everybody was able to notice important thing.
By the way, I apply this to our life and will think. I can think about this container all day long (24 hours). A stone, gravel and the sand to put in that express time to be usable freely at the time when it is necessary for a thing and pleasure and the life that we must do. Therefore the important thing is what you put first for these limited 24 hours. When to least puts with a small thing and furthermore a small thing in the beginning with a big thing a little more next to know, I do not all enter at the experiment."
Furthermore, the teacher continues it. "By the way, it is about next to become the problem. In your life, what is the thing fitting this biggest stone? And the next? ・With ...
24 hours when each human being is given it equally. It will vary according to each one how you use it. However, is it not ... as the important thing puts a valuable thing first for own 24 hours at time whether you put that you do not care it first? It is necessary to choose the valuable thing which you may put off that it is important for me to make it delicious. In my every day, it will be what kind of thing to have to have top priority. I want to think of it carefully.
