The attendant informs the woman that economy is full, as is club class, but there is one seat available in first class. However, before the woman can respond, the attendant says the captain felt it was outrageous for anyone to sit next to such an obnoxious person. The attendant then directs the black man to get his things, as his new seat is ready for him in first class. The surrounding passengers applaud the man as he moves to the front of the plane.

Wisdom From A Laugh 119, 120
This short story is about a newlywed couple who return from their honeymoon. The bride calls her mother crying and upset, saying her husband has started using horrible four-letter words. When pressed, she reveals the upsetting words are "dust, wash, iron, and cook". The mother realizes the bride had unrealistic expectations about married life and responsibilities.
Words And Thoughts To Live By 29
Discipline often requires enduring initial pain to make progress towards goals, but failing to act risks facing greater pain of regret later. While the pain of discipline includes hard work and sacrifice, it can transform over time into intrinsic motivation as habits form. Taking the first step despite discomfort guarantees seeing a little progress, so one should start projects and pursue dreams today rather than risking the inconsolable pain of regret for opportunities missed.
Story To Reflect Upon 99, 100
A son grows frustrated with his elderly father who can no longer work and thinks him useless. He builds a fine coffin and tricks his father into lying in it, intending to push him off a cliff.

The son realizes his terrible mistake and asks forgiveness, helping his father home instead.
Wisdom From A Laugh 121, 122

The next day, feeling guilty, the doctor sent bills to the people he advised. When he went to check his mailbox, he found a bill from the lawyer for the advice given at the party.
Story To Reflect Upon 97, 98
The boy ordered a plain dish of ice cream at a coffee shop instead of an ice cream sundae so that he would have enough money left to leave a tip for the waitress. When the waitress came back after the boy had finished and paid, she began to cry upon finding two nickels and five pennies left as a tip beside the empty dish. The boy demonstrated caring for others despite his limited means.
For Your Reflection 26
The emperor sought answers to three important questions that would bring happiness and success. The questions were:
1) What is the most important time? The answer is now. The present moment is reality while the past is gone and future uncertain.
2) Who is the most important person? The answer is the person you are with now. Giving full attention to the present person brings many benefits.
3) What is the most important thing to do? The answer is to care, for oneself and others. Caring evokes compassion and helps one grow in the Dhamma. Practicing the answers to these questions helps one find happiness, success, and freedom in this and future lives.

Laughter and forgiveness are keys to a long and happy life, while true friends accept you for who you are. Though we cannot control others, focusing on self-improvement and maintaining healthy relationships despite obstacles are paths to finding love and achieving our goals.
For Your Reflection 27
A mind lacking clarity and wisdom often results in twisted thinking and suffering. Twisted thinking can take forms such as all-or-nothing thinking, over-generalization, focusing only on negative details while ignoring positive feedback, rejecting positive experiences, and jumping to negative conclusions without facts or evidence. Addressing twisted patterns of thought can help reduce dukkha or suffering.
Wisdom From A Laugh 117, 118
This document contains two short stories followed by reflections:
1) The first story is about a woman who claims to have the "perfect son" who does not smoke, drink, or come home late. However, another woman discovers the son is only 6 months old.
2) The second story is about a Sunday school teacher telling the story of the Good Samaritan where a wounded man is helped. When asked what they would do if they found a wounded person, a student jokes that they would vomit.
3) The reflections discuss how today's world has made people insensitive to others' suffering due to materialism and selfishness. Educating children about compassion and morality is challenging in modern society
Wisdom From A Laugh 115, 116
The document describes two stories:
1) In the first story, a young punk with tattoos and piercings yells at an old man on a train. The old man replies that when he was young he got drunk and had sex with a parrot, implying the punk could be his son.
2) In the second story, a boy is swept out to sea by a wave but returned by another. His grandmother complains to God that the boy no longer has his hat.
The reflection advocates being grateful for blessings rather than always complaining and expecting more.
Wisdom From A Laugh 123, 124
The document summarizes two stories. The first story is about a man who gets caught up in bidding at an auction for a parrot and ends up paying too much. It is revealed that the parrot he was bidding against was actually bidding against him to drive the price up. The second story is about a mother who takes a photo of her son wrapped in toilet paper but accidentally captures her own naked reflection in the mirror and sends the photo out in Christmas cards.
Am I A Buddhist?
The document discusses different types of "Buddhists" and what constitutes a good Buddhist. It describes "Buddhists" who are primarily focused on rituals, social activities, solving problems in times of trouble, intellectual understanding without practice, worshipping deities, or being part of cult-like groups. A good Buddhist is defined as someone who takes refuge in the Buddha, Dhamma (teachings), and Sangha (monastic community), observes the five precepts of ethical conduct, strives diligently in Dhamma practice, cultivates inner peace and harmony with others, and trains the mind through meditation and cultivation of virtues like loving-kindness.

3) Being kind is more important than being right in how we treat others.

Thoughts and Words to Live by 28
- 1. LIFETIME LEARNER I've learned that the best teachers are in the hands of the wisest people. I've learned that being kind is more important than having all the reasons. I've learned that I can't learn to be wise, but that I must always strive for wisdom. I've learned that the simplest things, everyday, are what make life so wonderful. I've learned that everyone I greet deserves to be greeted with a smile. I've learned that I never lose chances. If I let them go, someone will take them. I've learned that when I hold my sadness, happiness goes and holds someone else. I've learned that I must keep my words soft and sweet. Maybe tomorrow I'll have to chew them and swallow them. I've learned that a smile is the cheapest way to make my appearance better. I've learned that I can't decide how to feel, but I can decide what to do about it. I've learned that the real treasures in my life are those that will go to the grave with me.
