Sam's neighbour was annoyed by Sam mowing his lawn early in the morning. When Sam's neighbour sent Sam a bottle of oil in response, Sam sent it back with a note telling his neighbour to use it on his wife when she sang late at night. A few days later, when Sam's wife was coughing, the neighbour returned the bottle with a note saying it was good medicine for her cough. This exchange shows that petty insults between neighbours will likely escalate the situation.

Catching fire
The document summarizes the cover design and key plot points from the book "Catching Fire" by Suzanne Collins. The cover features a mockingjay to symbolize rebellion and equality. Early plot points discussed include Katniss returning home after winning the Hunger Games and sparking rebellion, and her efforts to stop the rebellion by getting engaged to Peeta, which fails. Later summaries discuss Katniss and Peeta making alliances to survive in the arena with past victors, their plan to escape being put into action without Katniss' knowledge, and her learning from Haymitch that the victors were rescued in a plan to defy the president while also finding out District 12 has been bombed.
Fun with English 9
The document provides answers to a quiz called "Fun With English 9" with the letters 1F, 2E, 3D, 4H, 5B, 6A, 7I, 8C, and 9G. It then includes reflections on avoiding causing harm to others, realizing that true treasures come from good deeds rather than material possessions, and how focusing too much on oneself can hurt relationships.
Fun With English 10
The document provides answers to a quiz called "Fun With English 10" listing the answers as letters A-I. It then includes a humor picture and some reflections on avoiding conflict through consideration of others, finding true treasures through good actions rather than material possessions, and having better relationships by de-emphasizing focus on oneself.
Wisdom from a laugh 99, 100
The baker in a small town suspected a farmer of shorting him on butter weights. He weighed the butter for several days and found the farmer's bricks were underweight. At trial, the judge asked the farmer how he weighed the butter without scales. The farmer replied that he used the baker's one-pound loaves as weights, exposing that the baker had also been shorting customers.
The fisherman tricks a greedy man into paying $100 to learn his "new fishing method" using a mirror to confuse fish. He tells the man this is how he's caught 5 fish that day. When asked how it could possibly work, the fisherman admits the man is the fifth person he's tricked
Wisdom from a Laugh 95, 96
A wife looks in the mirror and sees an old woman with gray hair and sagging body. She asks her husband to say something positive about her appearance. His response is that at least her eyesight is good, implying that the rest of what she sees is accurate. This humorous exchange shows that one should be mindful of potentially hurtful speech and avoid making assumptions without proper investigation.
Thoughts and Words to Live By 17
This poem discusses how every small action we take, whether smiling at someone or offering help, can positively impact others and spread kindness. A single smile is able to brighten someone's day, while acts of thoughtfulness and understanding towards friends create rays of sunshine to share. By having kind words, offering help, and showing we care, we help others find beauty in life and spread happiness, love and contentment.
Story To Reflect Upon 81, 82
This short story describes a monk living in a strict monastery where the monks take a vow of silence and are only allowed to speak two words every ten years. After his first ten years, when asked what two words he would like to say, the monk responds "Bed...hard...". After another ten years, when asked the same question, he responds "Food...stinks...". Finally, after ten more years, when asked, he responds "I...quit!" The head monk then tells the monk that all he ever does is complain.
The points for reflection encourage counting blessings despite imperfections in life, developing patience and forbearance, and realizing the transient nature of life and possessions to motivate Dharma practice before it
For Your Reflection 16
Begin each day by promising to respect others through quiet, attentive listening and finding things to appreciate in others. Give sincere praise and reassurance of others' worth while taking responsibility for your own life and avoiding insults, criticism, mocking, superiority, or name-calling that could demean others.

For Your Reflection 15
A study by Duke University's sociology department found several factors that contribute greatly to emotional and mental stability. These include forgiving others and ridding yourself of suspicion and resentment; living in the present and not dwelling on past mistakes; accepting conditions that cannot be changed and cooperating with life; staying involved with the living world during stressful times; refusing to indulge in self-pity when facing hardship; cultivating virtues like love and compassion; having reasonable expectations of oneself; and finding something greater than oneself to believe in like volunteer work.
Fun with English 8
1. The document provides answers to a quiz called "Fun With English 8" listing letters A through I that correspond to answers.
2. The reflection section discusses how birth, aging, sickness, and death are inevitable parts of life but many cannot accept this and suffer more as a result. It also notes how some try to hide or change signs of aging rather than accepting it gracefully.
3. The reflection encourages Dhamma practice and realization as the way to grow old with peace and acceptance, otherwise aging can bring negative mental states like frustration and worry. It wishes the reader strives for enlightenment in this and future lives.
Story to Reflect Upon 77, 78
1. A story is told of two friends who got into an argument while walking through the desert, resulting in one slapping the other. The slapped friend wrote about the incident in the sand.
2. The friends later found an oasis where one friend nearly drowned but was saved by the other. The saved friend wrote about this act of saving in stone.
3. When asked why he wrote in sand and stone, the saved friend explained that hurts should be written in sand to be erased by forgiveness, but kindness should be written in stone to never be erased.
Fun With English 11
This document provides answers to a quiz called "Fun With English 11" with letters A through I as the possible answers. It also includes a humor picture and a short reflection on developing mindfulness by listening attentively to instructions and developing clear comprehension and memory. Mindfulness is important for spiritual growth and to avoid causing pain or suffering to others by misunderstanding what is said.
Story To Reflect Upon 79, 80
The story describes a man who witnessed a boy pushing his wheelchair-bound brother down the sidewalk. This prompted the man to reflect on how people in fast-paced modern lives often neglect to help those in need until forced to stop by disruptions. He was reminded not to rush through life so quickly that someone has to throw a brick to get his attention to the suffering of others. True spiritual growth comes from developing wisdom through meditation alongside serving others through charity.
For Your Reflection 13
This collection of inspirational insights provides brief words of wisdom on topics such as anger, worrying about the future, measuring wealth, making choices that affect tomorrow, responding to criticism, showing gratitude, the nature of love, and making the most of current circumstances. The quotes encourage living mindfully in the present, investing in eternity, spreading love instead of harsh words, and doing good for others wherever one is.
Thoughts and words to live by 18
The document lists the 10 most important things in life as love, respect, appreciation, happiness, forgiveness, sharing, honesty, integrity, compassion, and peace. It describes each concept in 1-2 sentences, with love defined as the special feeling that makes you feel warm and wonderful, respect as treating others how you want to be treated, and peace as the reward for living by these important values.
Thoughts and Words to Live By 16
The document provides advice on how to approach life and relationships with others. It suggests being understanding of enemies but loyal to friends, as well as being both strong enough to face challenges independently but also weak enough to accept help from others. The advice also includes being generous, wise, and foolish enough to believe in possibilities, while sharing in both the joys and sorrows of others as both a leader and follower depending on the situation.
For Your Reflection 14
The document discusses "The Laws of Life" which state that whatever positive or negative thoughts, words, or actions you express will be returned to you in some way. It advises that kindness, love, and praise will be reflected back, while hate, negativity, and criticism will breed more of the same. The overall message is that we should focus on giving love and positivity to others as it will come back to us in kind.
Wisdom From A Laugh 101, 102
The document contains two short stories. The first story is about a Western journalist who returns to a kingdom years after studying gender roles there. She previously observed women walking ten feet behind their husbands, but now sees men walking behind women. When asked why, a woman replies "Land mines." The second story is about a meditation teacher who notices a student pressing his nostrils during meditation. The teacher later learns the student misunderstood the instruction "one knows" as "one nose." Both stories illustrate how small misunderstandings can lead to unintended consequences.
Story to Reflect Upon 75, 76
The student was impatient to master martial arts and asked how long it would take if he practiced 10 hours a day. The teacher responded it would then take 20 years, implying that rushing will not result in true mastery and some things cannot be rushed and must develop naturally over time. Reflections on the story emphasized learning patience, not getting anxious, taking things one step at a time, living in the present moment, and the need to slow down and experience life fully.
Thoughts and Words to Live By 19
Slow down and appreciate life's simple pleasures. Make time for rest, contemplation, and reconnecting with nature and loved ones. Allow yourself to be unproductive at times to reduce stress and find a better work-life balance. Take time to think, pray, read, play and wonder rather than always rushing from one task to the next.
Wisdom From A Laugh 169, 170
The boss is retiring from the company and holds a farewell party where he asks all staff members to write messages in a farewell card. Most staff write generic well-wishes, but when the boss asks his longest-serving employee Cho Beh to write a message, Cho Beh writes "Goodbye. The best news in 20 years for me." This reflects that the boss thought too highly of himself and his retirement was a relief to his employees.

Wisdom From A Laugh 97,98
- 1. Wisdom From A Laugh 97 Neighbours Joe : I heard that you and your neighbour are not on speaking terms. What happened? Sam : He was too much. One day, when I started to cut grass with my lawn mower at six in the morning, my neighbour sent me a bottle of lubricating oil. Joe : And what did you do? Sam : I sent it back to him and told him to use it on his wife every time she started singing at midnight. And you know what …two days later, when he heard my wife coughing badly, he brought the bottle back with a note saying , ‘Good medicine for your wife’s horrible cough.’ Reflection Neighbours need to learn to live in harmony with one another, otherwise life can be miserable. Words or actions that insult, ridicule or put down another person should not be used. They will result in the wrong doer getting unpleasant consequences. We need to practise tolerance, patience and understanding. These are high virtues
- 2. Wisdom From A Laugh 98 The Watermelons A farmer in the country had a watermelon patch and upon inspection, he discovered that some of the local kids had been helping themselves to a feast. The farmer thought of ways to discourage this dishonest eating of the watermelons. He put up a sign that read: “WARNING – ONE OF THESE WATERMELONS CONTAINS CYANIDE!” The farmer returned a week later to discover that none of the watermelons had been eaten but found a sign that read : “NOW THERE ARE TWO!” Reflection In trying to solve a problem, a wrong strategy, instead of resolving the matter, complicates the problem even more. Lying in an attempt to resolve a problem situation can bring about disastrous consequences to the lier. To resolve problems or trouble, one needs to use honest, creative ways based on understanding, compassion and wisdom.
