74、s misapprehended by an ensign who prepared the sailing with remarkable efficiency but left behind the most important thing of having a captain.Whether people put first things first exerts great influence on the process of pushing things forward and even decides the future development. Things invaria
75、bly go of their own accord. If the order is misplaced, the whole process is blocked and ceases to be an abstract concept. Therefore, we can hardly imagine how we achieve future development with things upside down, with the cart before the horse.My experience vividly illustrates the significance of p
76、utting first things first. In the examination for high school, I should have got tens of more marks if I had given priority to the questions I was familiar with. I can not explain why I was so stubborn at that time and was quite illogical when dealing with an important examination, which directly resulted in many questions unfinished, and of course resulted in my failure to enter a key high school. I always keep this lesson in mind and promise myself to put first things first this time for the coming NMET examination.
