Ronaldo Luiz Nazario de Lima was born on 22 September 1976 in a poor suburb of Rio de Janeiro. Like most of his childhood friends, Ronaldo began his soccer career playing barefoot in the streets of his neighborhood. At the age of 14, he joined S?Cristovo soccer club and only two years later became the starof Cruzeiro Belo Horizonte scoring a totalof 58 goals in 60 matches and earning himself a reputation for his explosive pace and outstanding finishing skills. His goal-scoring record and unusual agility led him to be included in the Brazilian World Cup winning team the following year. After the World Cup, many top European football clubs were trying to sign him. Many people, including Brazilian football legend Pelé, referred to him as the most promising footballer of his generation.

Since his transfer to Dutch team PSV Eindhoven, Ronaldo s biography is one of success after success. Two Copa América s, a UEFA Cup, a Dutch Cup, a Spanish League Cup, and two awards as best player in the world, all in the space of two years, are some of Ronaldo s impressive achievements. On arrival to Inter-Milan in 1997, Ronaldo became the idol of the local fans who refer to him as “il Fenomeno.” Since the 98 World Cup he has suffered two serious knee injuries that have severely limited his appearances. Just when people began to wonder whether Ronaldo would be able to continue with his football career, he proved to the world that he still could play. In the World Cup held in Korea and Japan, the magical striker won the Golden Shoe award and tied Pelé's Brazilian record for career World Cup goals with 12. He helped Brazil capture its fifth World Cup championship on June 30 with a 2-0 win over Germany. It was the third time that Ronaldo has ever played in the World Cup.

Big Rocks One day,an expert in time management was speaking to a group of students and,to drive home a point,used an illustration those students will never forget.

As he stood in front of the group of overachievers he said,"OK,time for a quiz." He pulled out a one-gallon,wide-mouth jar and set it on the table in front of him.He also 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 this jar full?"

Everyone in the class yelled,"Yes." The time management expert replied,"Really?" He reached under the table and pulled out a bucket of gravel.He dumped some gravel in and shook the jar,causing pieces of gravel to work themselves down into the spaces between the big rocks.He then asked the group once more,"Is this jar full?"

By this time the class was on to him."Probably not," one of them answered."Good!" he replied.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 of the spaces left between the rocks and the gravel.Once more he asked the question,"Is this jar full?"

"No!" the class shouted.Once again he said,"Good." 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 his 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 it!"

So,tonight,or in the morning,when you are reflecting on this short story,ask yourself this question:What are the 'big rocks' in my life?
