When things in your lives seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2 cups of coffee.
A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began , he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded t o fill it with golf balls. 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 rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.
The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with an unanimous "yes."
The professo r then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.
"Now," said the professor as the laughter subsided, "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things--your family, your children, your health, your friends and your favorite passions--and 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 and your car.
The sand is 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 golf balls. The same goes for 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 spouse out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal. Take care of the golf balls first--the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand."
One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee 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 cups of coffee with a friend."
Feel free to share this with someone you care about.

我认识好几个单词哩。
翻译一下试试：整天真烦聂，来杯咖啡吧。
一个哲学教授在上课，学生们这个烦呀，昏昏欲睡，教授就找个一堆东西往壶里放，越放越小，最后还放了两杯咖啡，学生们都看傻了，啥魔术没看过呀，这玩得是什么套路涅，大家这个急呀。
教授看大家来了精神，语重心长的讲，鸟窝咖啡好，情浓香更浓。
学生们晃然大悟，冲出了教室。

咖啡俄稀饭！
目前在天津，刚到麦当劳喝了两杯，当然只花一杯的钱，麦当劳的免费续杯政策总让我感激涕零，彻夜难眠呀。

嘿嘿，偶去麦当劳也一般连着喝两杯~
喜欢去黑石礁的那家，先在店里吃饭喝一杯，然后要一杯带走，拿到海边坐在礁石上一边看海一边喝咖啡，味道好极了~
不过有一次服务员想糊弄偶给偶添的是二轮的咖啡，都凉了，让偶批评了哈~就给换了新的~

来我这里，咖啡豆自行研磨，然后用意大利咖啡壶在炉头上现场加热，慢火出油，不加任何糖、伴侣，一口到腹中，然后，慢慢从腹中从口腔弥漫出或者浓烈或者清雅的咖啡豆烹调后的独到原香。然后，再放入口中一粒咖啡豆，慢慢体味咖啡豆的苦涩直到眼睛迷离.....

很有哲理，能意识到家庭、孩子、健康、朋友和爱好最重要是种境界
工作、房子和车子虽然说是次重要的，但是这些方面没有保证，也无法充分享受生活
Still to much to handle
