大石块 From: http://www.hxen.com/englishlistening/shenghuo/duanju/2011-11-17/160580.html 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. As he stood in front of the group of high-powered over-achievers he said, "Okay, time for a quiz.” Then he pulled out a one-gallon, wide-mouthed Mason jar and set it on the table in front of him. He then produced about a dozen fist-sized rocks and carefully placed them, one at a time, into the jar. 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." 一天，一名时间管理专家在对一群学习商业的学生讲话时，为了论证一个论点，他用了一个令学生们永远难忘的 表述方式。站在这群出类拔萃的学生面前，他说：“来，做个小测试。”他拿出一个一加仑的广口玻璃瓶，放在他们面前的桌上。接着他拿出一小堆拳头大小的石 块，小心翼翼、一块一块地放进瓶子里。等石块装满到瓶子，再也塞不下时，他问：“瓶子满了吗？”大家都说：“满了。”

He replied, "Really?" 他问：“真的满了吗？”

He reached under the table and pulled out a bucket of gravel, then dumped some gravel in and shook the jar causing pieces of gravel to work themselves down into the space between the big rocks. 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. "Probably not," one of them answered. 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. “好！”他说道。

He reached under the table and brought out a bucket of sand. He started dumping the sand in the jar and it went into all the spaces left between the rocks and the gravel. Once more he asked the question, "Is the jar full?" 他伸手从桌底下拎出了一桶沙，把沙往瓶子里倒，沙子塞满了石块与碎石的缝隙，他又一次问：“满了吗？”

"No!" the class shouted. “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. Then he looked at the class and asked, "What is the point of this illustration?" One eager student raised her hand and said, "The point is, no matter how full your schedule is, if you try really hard you can always fit some more things in!" 然后他又拿出一大罐水往瓶子里倒，一直倒到水升到瓶口高。他看着学生们问：“这个演示说明了什么？”一个学生急忙举手说：“说 明了：不管时间安排得多紧，只要你想办法，总是可以见缝插针地做更多的事情。”

"Good answer, but no," the speaker replied, "that's not my point. 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. What are the 'big rocks" in your life? In my life they are my children... my wife... my loved ones... my education... my dreams... charities and worthy causes... teaching or mentoring others... doing things that I love... time for myself... my health... Remember to put these BIG ROCKS in first or you'll never get them in at all." “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）。

From: http://www.hxen.com/englishlistening/shenghuo/duanju/2011-11-17/160580.html A Lesson for Living 生活的一课 "Everything happens for the best," my mother said whenever I faced disappointment. "If you carry on, one day something good will happen. And you'll realize that it wouldn't have happened if not for that previous disappointment." 每当我遇到挫折时，母亲就会说：“一切都会好的。如果你坚持下去，总有一天会有好事发生。你会认识到，如果没有以前的挫折就不会有现在的一切。”

Mother was right, as I discovered after graduating from college in 1932. I had decided to try for a job in radio, then work my way up to sports announcer. I hitchhiked to Chicago and knocked on the door of every station - and got turned down every time. 母亲是对的，发现这个时是在1932年，我刚从大学毕业。我已决定试着在电台找个事儿做，然后争取做体育节目的播音员。我搭便车到了芝加哥，挨家电台地敲门推销自己--但每次都被拒绝了。

In one studio, a kind lady told me that big stations couldn't risk hiring an inexperienced person. "Go out in the sticks and find a small station that'll give you a chance," she said. 在一个播音室里，一位好心的女士告诉我，大的广播电台是不会冒险雇佣没经验的新手的。“去乡下找一家给你机会的小电台吧，”她说。

I thumbed home to Dixon, Illinois. While there was no radio-announcing jobs in Dixon, my father said Montgomery Ward had opened a store and wanted a local athlete to manage its sports department. Since Dixon was where I had played high school football, I applied. The job sounded just right for me. But I wasn't hired. 我搭车来到我的家乡，那是伊利诺斯州的迪克森。在迪克森当时还没有电台播音员这样的工作，父亲说，蒙哥马利·沃德开了一家新商店，想雇请一个本地的运动员管理店里的体育部。我中学时曾在迪克森打过橄榄球，出于这个原因我去申请了这份工作。工作听起来挺适合我的，但是我没被聘用。

学习英语的方法英语作文优秀6篇

学习英语的方法英语作文优秀6篇介绍英语学习方法的英语作文篇一As we all know, English is an interesting subject in China, so many students are interested in English. But most of them can’t learn English well, because they don’ know the right ways to learn English. Thus, it is very important for them to learn how to learn English. And here is my advice:First of all, vocabulary is necessary in English. You should learn some new words day by day and go over them twice a week. So that your vocabulary will bee bigger and bigger.Second, reading is also important. I advise you to read English books and English stories. If you can’t understand a word when you are reading, you’d better look it up in the dictionary and write it down, so that you can go over them at any time. Or you can watch English TV and English filmsThird, it’s the same important for speaking. Why don’t you spelling and pronounce new words aloud every day? It is a good way to practice your pronunciation.Fourth, I think writing is the same importance as speaking. Why not find some English pen friends and write to them or you can write some English passages at your free time. They can improve your English writing ability greatly.I suggest you don’t be afraid to make mistakes, because making mistakes is very normal for us.Remember! Knowledge e form practice!学习英语的方法英语作文篇二We are learning English,not about English. A student can know all about English. And he may not be able to speak English.The people who only learn about English take English as a subject. This is a mistake. Geography is no skill while English is.You learn to swim by getting into water and swimming.You learn football by kicking a ball. We learn to speak English by speaking English. Let us do more speaking if we want to learn English well.So you see there is a difference between learning English and learning about English. Now we want to learn English and we believe the best way to learn to speak English is by speaking.介绍英语学习方法的英语作文篇三Study has been the indispensable part of our life. For some people，study means to learn knowledge from school，which for others，they believe that study is happening all the time，which is not limited in the regular learning. I believe that if we keep thinking，we are studying. Study brings us the valuable things. The most important thing is critical thinking. When we are babies，we get to know the world by imitating. But as we grow up，we will have our own opinion about the world. A plete person will not follow the crowd，who can figure out the truth and fake. Study also brings us a bigger world. The more we read，the farther distance we can reach. A person is easy to be stuck in the current difficulty，but if he can see the beauty of life，he will adjust himself and be positive to life.学习英语的方法英语作文篇四How to lead to success? Different people have different perspectives. Some people believe that success es from taking risks and chances. While others believe that success is the result of careful planning. What is the key to success in the end ? I think the answer may be not unique, everyone has a special way to success individually.In my opinion, to be successful should have the following necessary conditions. First of all, you need to have sufficient professional knowledge. If you want to be successful at one aspect, it is certainly indispensable to have solid expertise. As the leaders of sony, Ibuka and Morita, are proficient in electronics technology, and Wang An is proficient in puter knowledge. Secondly, you should have a keen insight and innovation spirit. Such as the sony pany, without Ibuka’s and Morita’s extraordinary intuitive and their constant innovation, sony cannot produce so many products, which meet the desires of most consumers. Then sonyprobably will not have today’s enviable status. Furthermore, you have to do careful planning for the future. When Wang An said about his success, he said that his success is also the result of the decisions he made every stage of their growth. He predicted the future, and specified careful planning. Finally, you must have the spirit of hard-work and persistent struggle. Any lack of successful examples donot e from the hard-work and dedication. Sony#39;s success is precisely the result of that Ibuka and Morita try their best to sell their products to others and work hard every day.It makes their electronic products world famous. Meanwhile, the road to success will inevitably encounter setbacks, at this time, you should be able to withstand the pressure, and to take heart of grace to move forward, then you will eventually succeed. Of course, there are many other aspects of the success factors. For example, good luck, excellentmunication skills, good helpers and so on.Everybody longs for success. But success can be achieved only through talking about it, it requires real actions. I believe that as long as we have our own clear goals, and continuously work hard, everyone will get good results.学习英语的方法英语作文篇五I’mamiddleschoolstudent.IloveEnglish，butit’’tpronouncesowell.SoIplantolistentothetapeandreadafterit.Ican’treadEnglishpassagesquickl yandcan’，sometimesIcan’tunderstandwhatothersaresaying.SoIplantoimprovemyselfb，butIthinkmyEnglishteachercanhelpmewithit.WiththisEnglish—learningplan，I’mhopingforgreatprogress.学习英语的方法英语作文篇六Firstly, fall in love with English. There is a good saying that interest is the best teacher. As long as you love something, we would like to figure it out deeply. So does English. Once you development your interest in English, you definitely will want to learn it by heart no matter how many difficulties you meet. Your interest is the biggest motivation to learn, which will force you to find some effective ways to learn.Secondly, make a good plan for your study and practice it strictly. Learning is a long and tough journey that needs patience as well as methods. A good plan is one of the most effective methods. Learning schedule, content, step, target and so on are included in a plan. Besides, you should pay attention to the mistakes you make. In your plan, you should set sometime aside tocorrect the mistakes you make and make sure that you would never make such mistakes again.Finally, make good use of all materials you can get. Nowadays, there are plenty of materials for us to learn English, such as newspaper, magazine, radio, TV, the internet and many other media. They contain almost all information in the world. We can get news as well as knowledge when we use them. Besides, the knowledge we get in the class is far more enough, so that it’s necessary for us to broaden our knowledge after class by using various learning materials.。
