I am a mother of three and have recently completed my college degree. The last class I had to take was Sociology. The teacher was really inspiring. The class was asked to go out and smile at three people.
I am a very   1  person and thought this would be a piece of cake. Soon after, my husband, youngest son, and I went out to McDonald’s. We were standing in line, waiting to be    2 , when all of a sudden everyone around us began to   3  away, and then even my husband did.
As I turned around I   4  a terrible “dirty body” smell, and there standing behind me were two poor   5  men. As I looked down at the short gentleman, he was “  6 ”. His beautiful sky blue eyes were full of God’s Light as he searched for   7 . He said, “Good day” as he counted the few coins he had been   8 .
The young lady at the counter asked him what they wanted. He said, “Coffee is all Miss” because that was all they could   9 . He just wanted to be warm.
Then I really   10  it—the compulsion（冲动）was so great that I almost reached out and hugged the little man with the blue eyes.
That is when I noticed all eyes in the restaurant were set on me, judging(判断) my every action. I smiled and asked the young lady behind the counter to give me two more breakfast meals on a   11  tray（托盘）.
I then walked around the corner to the   12  that the men had chosen as a resting spot. I put the tray on the table and laid my hand on the blue-eyed gentleman’s   13 hand. He looked up at me, with   14 in his eyes, and said, “Thank you.”

Everyone in class shouted, “Yes.” “Really?” The teacher pulled out a bag of small stones. He put   5  small stones in and shook the jar. The small stones went   6  into the spaces between the big rocks. He then asked the group   7  , “Is this jar full?”
“Probably not,” one of them answered. “Good!” the teacher replied. He brought out a box of sand and   8  some sand into the jar and it went between the rocks and small stones. Again he asked the   9  question, “Is this jar full?
“No,” the class shouted. Once more the teacher said, “Good.” He poured a cup of water into the jar   10  it was full. The he asked, “What is the point here?” One student   11  his hand and said, “The point is that if you try really hard, you can   12  put more things in.”
“No,” the teacher replied, “that’s not the  13  . What I want to tell you is that if you don’t put the big rocks in first, you will never get others in at all.   14  are the ‘big rocks’ in your life? Time with your friends, your education or your dreams? Remember to put the  15  in first, or you’ll never get others in at all.?”
