He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.
The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles, of course, rolled into the open areas between the rocks.
He then asked once more if the jar was full. This time the students were sure and they responded with a unanimous "Yes!"
"Now," said the professor, as the laughter subsided, "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The rocks are the important things - your family, your partner, your health, your children; things that, if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full. The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house, your car."
The sand represented everything else. The small stuff. "If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued "there is no room for the pebbles or the rocks. The same goes for your life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you."
"Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your partner out dancing. There will always be time to go to work, clean the house, give a dinner party and fix the disposal."
One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the beer represented.
The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked. It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of beers."

Есть фотография и нужно уменьшить вес, убрать шум и "красные глаза", отрезать лишнее и размеры изменить - но под рукой как назло нет программ (того же AcdSee или Photoshop), а искать-скачивать-устанавливать лень или нельзя. Или под рукой видео с мобильного в 3gp, а нужно в AVI - и с софтом такая же история. Или wav в mp3 нужно перевести (и наоборот). Или файл прислали в rar/zip, но архиватор (как назло!) не установлен? Знакомо? Дык хотя бы раз, но у каждого случалось.
Публикую подборку онлайн-сервисов, не требующих никаких установок софта, но выполняющих его (софта) функции. Зашел на сайт, залил исходное, получил нужный результат. Естественно, все бесплатно ))
Translate.ru (онлайн-перевод с/на основные языки) и translit.ru (для тех, у кого нет латиницы или кириллицы на клавиатуре) не анонсирую как известные всем и очень давно ))
