The Story Of The Jealous Cousin Devadatta was Buddha's first cousin, and was always jealous of him. Buddha had left his home in Kapilavatthu as a young prince. When he became enlightened, he traveled far and wide spreading his teachings. When Buddha visited his home at Kapilavatthu , the Sakyans joined him because they liked what he taught. His jealous cousin, Devadatta, also joined Buddha. He learnt many things from Buddha, and got some magical powers too. But, he always was jealous of Buddha and the way people liked him. Devadatta was cunning. Once he visited the crown prince of Magadha janpada , Ajatsattu, and showed him his magical powers. Ajatsattu was impressed and started to help him. When Devadatta came back to Kapilavatthu , he spread the word around that he was better than Buddha. But everybody loved Buddha. Devadatta got mad at the people because they did not support him. Devadatta went back to Magadha and told Ajatsattu to kill his own brother, Bimbisara, and grab the throne. Devadatta wanted Bimbisara killed because he supported Buddha. Devadutta also hired sixteen archers to kill Buddha. But the archers became Buddha's followers when they heard him speak, because he was so nice and pure. The cunning Devadatta then hurled a huge rock from a mountain when Buddha was walking down the slope. But, magically, two huge rocks came in the way and stopped the hurled rock. Devadatta could not believe what he saw! Devadatta then got a rogue elephant and set it among the people. Everybody screamed and ran away. Buddha calmly kept walking towards the elephant. When the elephant was about to trample a little baby on the street, Buddha touched the elephant on its forehead, which at once cooled down the elephant. The wild animal bowed before Buddha in respect. People came to know how cunning and mean Devadatta had been. They all ran him out of town. Jealousy makes people blind. They have to pay the price, as Devadatta did in the end. Lovely Thoughts for Lovely People Just Like You Father was a hardworking man who delivered bread as a living to support his wife and three children. He spent all his evenings after work attending classes, hoping to improve himself so that he could one day find a better paying job. Except for Sundays, Father hardly ate a meal together with his family. He worked and studied very hard because he wanted to provide his family with the best money could buy. Whenever the family complained that he was not spending enough time with them, he reasoned that he was doing all this for them. But he often yearned to spend more time with his family. The day came when the examination results were announced. To his joy, Father passed, and with distinctions too! Soon after, he was offered a good job as a senior supervisor which paid handsomely. Like a dream come true, Father could now afford to provide his family with life’s little luxuries like nice clothing, fine food and vacation abroad. However, the family still did not get to see father for most of the week. He continued to work very hard, hoping to be promoted to the position of manager. In fact, to make himself a worthily candidate for the promotion, he enrolled for another course in the open university. Again, whenever the family complained that he was not spending enough time with them, he reasoned that he was doing all this for them. But he often yearned to spend more time with his family. Father’s hard work paid off and he was promoted. Jubilantly, he decided to hire a maid to relieve his wife from her domestic tasks. He also felt that their three-room flat was no longer big enough, it would be nice for his family to be able to enjoy the facilities and comfort of a condominium. Having experienced the rewards of his hard work many times before, Father resolved to further his studies and work at being promoted again. The family still did not get to see much of him. In fact, sometimes Father had to work on Sundays entertaining clients. Again, whenever the family complained that he was not spending enough time with them, he reasoned that he was doing all this for them. But he often yearned to spend more time with his family. As expected, Father’s hard work paid off again and he bought a beautiful condominium overlooking the coast of Singapore. On the first Sunday evening at their new home, Father declared to his family that he decided not to take anymore courses or pursue any more promotions. From then on he was going to devote more time to his family. Father did not wake up the next day. So Enjoy Life Before its Too Late............ Lovely Thoughts for Lovely People Just Like You A philosophy professor stood before his class with some items on the table 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 rocks, about 2 inches in diameter. 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, of course, rolled into the open areas between the rocks. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was. The professor picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He then asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous “Yes.” “Now,” said the professor, “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 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 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 your partner out dancing. There will always be time to go to work, clean the house, give a dinner party and fix the disposal. Take care of the rocks first – the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.” Lovely Thoughts for Lovely People Just Like You

Kada vam se učini da gubite kontrolu nad svojim životom, kada 24h na dan nije dovoljno, sjetite se tegle kiselih krastavaca... i kave. Profesor je stajao pred grupom studenata na satu filozofije i držao neke predmete iza sebe. Kada je sat počeo, bez riječi je podigao veliku, praznu teglu kiselih krastavaca, stavio je na katedru i napunio lopticama za tenis. Potom je upitao studente da li je tegla puna. Složili su se da jest. Zatim je profesor podigao kutiju punu kamenčića i sipao ih u teglu. Blago ju je protresao. Kamenčići su se otkotrljali u prazan prostor izmedu loptica. Tada je ponovo upitao studente je li tegla puna. Opet su odgovorili da jest. Sljedeća kutija koju je profesor uzeo, bila je puna pijeska. Kada ga je sipao, pijesak je, naravno, ispunio sve preostale šupljine u tegli. Pitao je još jednom je li tegla puna. Studenti su skrušeno odgovorili da jest. Onda je profesor ispod stola izvadio dvije šalice pune kave i sipao ih u teglu. Kava je natopila pijesak Studenti su se smijali. Sada!', rekao je profesor, dok je smijeh zamirao, 'hoću da shvatite da ova tegla predstavlja vas život. Teniske loptice su važne stvari u vašem životu: vaša obitelj, vaša djeca, vaše zdravlje, vaša vjera i stvari kojima se strasno predajete....... To su one stvari uz koje bi vaš život i dalje bio ispunjen, i kada bi sve drugo nestalo. Kamenčići su i ostale stvari koje su važne: vaš posao, vaša kuća i vaš auto. Pijesak predstavlja preostale stvari. „Male stvari“. Ako napunite teglu pijeskom, nema mjesta za kamenčiće i teniske loptice. Isto važi u životu. Ako potrošite sve svoje vrijeme i energiju na male stvari, nikada nečete imati mjesta za one važne stvari. Vodite računa o stvarima koje su kljućne za vašu sreću. 1. Igrajte se sa djecom. 2. Nadjite vremena za odlazak liječniku. 3. Izvedite partnera na večeru. 4. Ponašajte se ponovo kao da vam je 18. 5. Uvijek će biti vremena da se očisti kuča i naprave popravci. Prvo se pobrinite za teniske loptice - stvari koje su vam zaista važne. Utvrdite svoje prioritete. Sve ostalo je pijesak.' Jedna od studentica je podigla ruku i upitala što je predstavljala kava. Profesor se nasmijao. 'Drago mi je da ste pitali. Nju sipam, da bi vam pokazao, da bez obzira koliko mislite da vam je život pun, uvijek ima prostora za „šalicu kave sa prijateljem“ Hvala ti, tvoj glas je uračunat.
