How to getting our priorities right - live events!!

Today I read two of the events unconnected by geographically but connected conceptually on the concept of how to get our priorities correctly..

First event watch this video event:



Please proceed to see how this event is connected with what I am going to talk about..



1) Synopsis of the event is A man from china trapped himself in a toilet while trying to chase down his mobile phone. As the subject says the priorities indeed different for this man as the precious thing of that moment being his cell phone.
2) Second event was more of a autobiography of the famous blogger : Steve Pavelina, in his blog, he clearly depicts on how he was successfully prioritized his studies to get 4 year course in 3 semesters clearing with 3.9 GPA in this amazing blog.

Having read these two events, I believe you are able to connect to the point. Prioritization may be different for these two gentlemen where one failed to grab the success (mobile??!) in the event-1 where as the other succeeded in the second(studies!). One was very short term goal and other was medium one. However the way, it got executed were pretty amazing as they left me thinking what level and depth people could cover in achieving their priorities.

What are your priorities and what level you want go to achieve them, By the way??!!
