[00:19.87]Directions:
[00:23.22]Listen to the poem twice and fill in the blanks.
[00:29.02]Around the corner I have a friend.In this great city that has no end,
[00:36.04]Yet the days go by and weeks rush on,And before know it,a year is gone
[00:44.46]And I never see my old friend's face,For life is a swift and terrible race,
[00:52.88]He knows I like him just as well as,in the days when I rang his bell,
[01:00.26]And he rand mine.It's true that we were younger then,
[01:06.38]And now we are busy,tired men,Tired of playing a foolish game,
[01:14.27]Tired of trying to make a name."Tomorrow",I say,"I will call on Jim"
[01:22.87]"Just to show that I'm thinking of him."But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes,
[01:31.62]And distance between us grows and grows.Around the corner!--Yet miles away,
[01:41.27]"Here's a telegram sir--""Jim died today."
[01:47.24]And that's what we get and deserve in the end.Around the corner, a vanished friend.
[01:56.86]If you love someone, tell them.Remember always to say what you mean.

[02:32.46]The person that you are today and are what it's all about anyway.
[02:40.24]Pass this along to your friends.Let it make a difference in your day and theirs.
[02:49.49]The difference between expressing love,
[02:54.78]And having regrets which may stay around forever.

[03:05.40]Exercise 1
[03:08.89]Directions:
[03:12.28]Listen to the passage and answer the following questions.
[03:18.22]One day an expert on the subject of time management
[03:24.55]was speaking to a group of business students and
[03:30.53]to stress a point, used an illustration I'm sure those students will never forget
[03:38.23]After I share it with you, you'll never forget it either.
[03:44.21]As this man stood in front of the group of high-powered overachievers,
[03:50.54]he said, "Okay, time for a quiz
[03:56.12]Then he pulled out a large, wide-mouthed jar and set it on a table in front of him
[04:04.94]Then he produced about a dozen first-sized rocks and carefully placed them,
[04:12.43]one at a time, into the jar.
[04:16.86]When the jar was filled to the top and no more rocks would fit inside, he asked,
[04:24.28]"Is this jar full?"
[04:28.52]Everyone in the class said, "Yes."
[04:33.20]Then he said, "Really?"
[04:37.49]He reached under the table and pulled out a bag of little stones
[04:44.51]Then he dumped some of them in and shook the jar causing the little
[04:51.53]stones to work themselves sown into the spaces between the big rocks.
[04:58.26]Then he smiled and asked the group once more
[05:03.34]"Is the jar full?" by this time the class was onto him
[05:11.58]"Probably not," one of them answere "Good!" he replied
[05:19.18]And he reached under the table and brought out a bag of sand
[05:25.30]He started dumping the sand in
[05:30.48]and it went into all the spaces left between the rocks and the little stones
[05:37.03]Once more he asked the question, "Is this jar full?" No!" the class shouted
[05:44.95]Once again he said:"Good
[05:48.66]Then he grabbed a bottle of water
[05:53.02]and began go pour it in until the jar was filled to the top
[05:58.74]Then he looked up at the class and asked, "What is the point of this illustration?"
[06:06.73]One eager beaver raised his hand and said
[06:11.84]"The point is, no matter how full your schedule is
[06:17.82]if you try really hard, you can always fit some more things into it!"
[06:24.88]"No," the speaker replied, "that's not the poin
[06:31.03]The truth this illustration teaches us
