One is never too busy to spend some time for a cup of coffee with friends, which I must say I am also guilty of not doing. Although I like making friends and had always tried to stay in touch with them but lately, with me embarking on a number of new projects, had been neglecting them.

I also tends to get overwhelmed by the nitty gritty things in life instead of spending more time on the major things in life. This article is really a reminder for me, and I hope it is for you too!  –>

When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar… and the coffee…

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.

So 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 professor 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 God, family, children, health, friends, and your favorite passions – 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, 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. Invite people around for dinner. 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.

Received this meaningful list from a friend and I would like to share this with all my friends here. Taped this on your bathroom mirror where you can read it every day. You may not realize it, but it’s 100% true.

1. There are at least two people in this world that you would die for.

2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way.

3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you.

4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don’t like you.

5. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep.

6. You mean the world to someone.

7. You are special and unique.

8. Someone that you don’t even know exists loves you.

9. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it.

10. When you think the world has turned its back on you take another look.

11. Always remember the compliments you received. Forget about the rude remarks.

“I would rather have one rose and a kind word from a friend while I’m here than a whole truck load when I’m gone!

I tried all the recommendations provided in the Installation Guide but nothing works.  But after much effort in exploring, I finally managed to solve the icon issue by replicating the .akst_share_link class into my style sheet, style.css, as follows:

.akst_share_link{
 background: 1px 0 url(images/share-icon-16×16.gif) no-repeat;
 padding: 1px 0 3px 22px;
}

The above class can also be found in the share-this.php but because Share This allows this class to be defined externally, I am able to do this.

The other problem was a little more tricky, i.e. the Share This pop-up window did not appear when I click on the Share This icon instead it was loaded in a new page.  I had spent more time trying to resolve this.

The installation guide only mentioned that it is a known limitation of Share This that it requires the wp_foot() call for the pop-up window to work.  However, I also traced down that it also require the wp_head() call; my theme does not have both the wp_header() and wp_foot() call.  This is what I did, I put the <?php wp_head(); ?> in my header.php before the </head> end tag and <?php wp_footer(); ?> in my footer.php before the </body> end tag.

Hope the above, which works for me, is helpful to friends who face the same problem.  However, for more detail about installation, please refer to the Installation Guide by Alex.
