Как вы считаете, кто прав: те кто стараются успеть сделать все дела, или те, кто откладывают всё на потом?

А поговорить?!

Не откладывай на завтра то, что можно сделать сегодня

啊，是星星吗？ Ah! You mean the stars? 对了，就是星星。 Yes, that's it. The stars. 你要拿这五亿星星做什么？ And what do you do with Five-hundred millions of stars? 五亿一百六十二万七百三十一颗星星。 Five-hundred-and-one million, six-hundred-twenty-two thousand, seven-hundred-thirty-one. 我是严肃的人，我是非常精确的。 I am concerned with matters of consequence: I am accurate. 你拿这些星星做什么？ And what do you do with these stars? 我要它做什么？ What do I do with them? 是呀 Yes. 什么也不做。它们都是属于我的。 Nothing. I own them. 星星是属于你的？ You own the stars? 是的。 Yes. 可是我已经见到过一个国王，他… But I have already seen a king who... 国王并不占有，他们只是进行‘统治’。这不是一码事。 Kings do not own, they reign over. It is a very different matter. 你拥有这许多星星有什么用？ And what good does it do you to own the stars? 它可以使我变得富有。 It does me the good of making me rich. 变富有了你想干什么？ And what good does it do you to be rich? 富了就可以去买别的星星，如果有人发现了别的星星的话。 It makes it possible for me to buy more stars, if any are ever discovered. 小王子自言自语地说：“这个人想问题有点象那个酒鬼一样。” "This man," the little prince said to himself, "reasons a little like my poortippler..."

Haiku

Был только двенадцатый час в начале. Тишина громадных комнат, нарушаемая только изредка пением, доносившимся из нижнего этажа, нагоняла зевоту. Бронза, альбомы и картины на стенах, изображавшие море с корабликами, луг с коровками и рейнские виды, были до такой степени не новы, что взгляд только скользил по ним и не замечал их. Праздничное настроение стало уже прискучать. Анна Акимовна по-прежнему чувствовала себя красивою, доброю и необыкновенною, но уже ей казалось, что это никому не нужно; казалось ей, что и это дорогое платье она надела неизвестно для кого и для чего. И ее уже, как это бывало во все праздники, стали томить одиночество и неотвязная мысль, что ее красота, здоровье, богатство – один лишь обман, так как она лишняя на этом свете, никому она не нужна, никто ее не любит. Она прошлась по всем комнатам, напевая и поглядывая в окна. Остановившись в зале, она не могла удержаться, чтобы не заговорить с Мишенькой.

AN NOU TANDE

If robots do take over the world, this one probably won't be the leader.

Less than 5.8 centimeters tall — a little shorter than a lighter — it has been recognized by Guinness World Records as the world's smallest humanoid robot.

Humanoid robots look and act like humans. For the Guinness record, they must be able to move their shoulders, elbows, knees and hips, and also be able to walk.

Made by a Japanese student named Mitsuya Tatsuhiko, this one is less than half the size of the previous holder of the world record, which was made by students from Hong Kong.

Tatsuhiko is a postgraduate student at Nagoya Institute of Technology, where he researches crawler robots. Crawler robots don't look like humans, however, and they're used to inspect places that are hard to get to.

Tatsuhiko has been interested in robots since he was a child.

According to Guinness World Records, he built his first humanoid robot when he was 10.

He didn't spend as much time making them during high school, but he has returned to his passion as he has gotten older.

It took him a few tries to get his record-breaking robot right, and he worked hard to make it as small as he could.

He applied for the record with his third attempt while he was in the fourth year of his degree. He said he was very happy to have broken the record.

Tatsuhiko hopes to work with robots when he finishes university, but he'll also keep making them at home as a hobby.
