Read this paragraph. Time is precious: there are only so many hours in each day. When we do tasks randomly and without a plan, we cheat ourselves out of the chance to succeed. We also set ourselves up for unwanted stress. The good news is, using time management strategies can help us meet our goals. It can also help us feel less anxious about all there is to do in a day. The first step in time management is to set achievable goals. Without goals, it is hard to know when you have succeeded. Next, determine what steps you need to take in order to meet your goals. Set aside time to make a weekly plan that lists when you will complete the necessary tasks. At the end of each day, track your progress and choose the top three things you would like to accomplish the next day. They should directly relate to your goals. Put your plan in place by staying focused on your planned tasks each day. Avoid distractions and time wasters, like surfing online or repeatedly checking your email. Finally, once you have reached a goal, take time to celebrate! Having something to look forward to is great motivation for meeting your goals. What is the implied main idea?

returning points to main account

explanation:

11-32. the main character in the parable, the forgiving father, whose character remains constant throughout the story, is a picture of god. in telling the story, jesus identifies himself with god in his loving attitude to the lost. the younger son symbolizes the lost (the tax collectors and sinners of that day, luke 15: 1), and the elder brother represents the self-righteous (the pharisees and teachers of the law of that day, luke 15: 2). the major theme of this parable seems not to be so much the conversion of the sinner, as in the previous two parables of luke 15, but rather the restoration of a believer into fellowship with the father. in the first two parables, the owner went out to look for what was lost (luke 15: 1-10), whereas in this story the father waits and watches eagerly for his son's return. we see a progression through the three parables from the relationship of one in a hundred (luke 15: 1-7), to one in ten (luke 15: 8-10), to one in one (luke 15: 11-32), demonstrating god’s love for each individual and his personal attentiveness towards all humanity. we see in this story the graciousness of the father overshadowing the sinfulness of the son, as it is the memory of the father’s goodness that brings the prodigal son to repentance (romans 2: 4).
