The professor fills an empty jar with stones to represent important things like family and health. He then adds rice representing less important things like work and possessions. Finally, he adds sand to fill the remaining spaces, representing small unimportant things. He explains that if you fill your life with unimportant sand first, you won't have room for the more important stones and rice. The lesson is to prioritize the most important people and aspects of your life to find happiness and avoid getting caught up in unimportant small things.
When things in your life seem, almost too much to handle, remember the mayonnaise jar and 2 cups of coffee.
It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there’s always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend.’

A FISH STORY One September morning, on their first d.docxevonnehoggarth79783
A FISH STORY
One September morning, on their first day of college,
two dozen first year students made their way into the
biology laboratory. They sat down six at a lab table and
glanced about for the professor. Because this was their
first college class, most of the students were a bit
nervous. A few introduced themselves. Others kept
checking their watches.
At exactly nine o'clock, the professor, wearing a
crisply pressed white lab coat, entered the room. "Good
morning," he said. He set a white plate in the middle of
each table. On each plate lay a small fish.
Please observe the fish," the professor said. "Then
write down your observations." He turned and left the
room.
The students looked at each other, puzzled. This was
strange! Oh, well. They took out scrap paper and wrote
notes such as, "I see a small fish." One student added,
"It's on a white plate."
Satisfied, they set their pens down and waited. And
waited. For the entire class period, they waited. A couple
of students whispered that it was a trick. They said the
professor was probably testing them to see if they'd do
something wrong. Time crawled by. Still they waited,
trying to do nothing that would get them in trouble.
Finally, one student mumbled that she was going to be
late for her next class. She picked up her books and
stood. She paused. Others rose as well and began filing
out of the room. Some looked cautiously over their
shoulders as they left.
When the students entered the biology lab for their
second class, they found the same white plates with the
same small fish already waiting on their laboratory
tables. At exactly nine o'clock, the professor entered the
room. "Good morning. Please take out your observations
of the fish," he said. Students dug into their notebooks or
book bags. Many could not find their notes. Those few
who could held them up for the professor to see as he
walked from table to table.
After visiting each student, the professor said, "Please
observe the fish. Write down all of your observations."
Then he left, closing the door behind him.
The students looked at one another, more puzzled.
They peered at the fish. Those few who had found their
notes glanced from the fish to their notes and back again.
Was the professor crazy? What else were they supposed
to notice? It was only a stupid fish.
About then, one student spied a book on the
professor's desk. It was a book for identifying fish, and
she snatched it up. Using the book, she quickly
discovered what kind of fish was lying on her plate. She
read eagerly, recording in her notes all the facts she
found about her fish. Others saw her and asked to use the
book, too. She passed the book to other tables, and her
classmates soon found descriptions of their fish. After
about fifteen minutes the students sat back, very pleased
with themselves. Chatter died down. They waited. But
the professor didn't return. As the peri.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Palestine last event orientationfvgnh .pptxRaedMohamed3
An EFL lesson about the current events in Palestine. It is intended to be for intermediate students who wish to increase their listening skills through a short lesson in power point.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science.

Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

'The jar'
A philosophy professor is before his class with a jar on the table in front of him, like this one.
When the class begins, he picks up the empty jar and fills it with stones.
Then he asks the students if the jar is full. And they say: - Yes, it is.
So the professor then picks up some rice and pours it into the jar. He shakes the jar. The rice, of course,
rolls into the open areas between the stones.
Then he asks the students again if the jar is full. They say: - Yes, it is.
The professor picks up a box of sand and pours it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up the remaining
open areas of the jar.
Then he asks one more time if the jar is full. The students say: - Yes!
“OK” - says, the professor, “Pay attention... this jar represents your life. The stones are the important
things – your family, your friends, your health, your personality – these things mean that your life is full. The
rice is the other things that matter less – like your job, your house, your car, your money. The sand is the
small stuff.”
“If you put the sand into the jar first,” he continues, “there is no space for the rice or the stones. Exactly
the same goes for your life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have
space for the things that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your
happiness. Be honest. Be authentic. Be yourself.”
“Take care of the stones first – the things that really matter. Set your priorities. Choose your stones. The
rest is just sand.”
You must learn a lesson for life: 'Don't try to copy out others'
Be yourself!
