"[A story - with a message about the importance of personality over physical attributes to true beauty that is more than skin deep.] - Beauty Tips - A dear old lady was asked what she used to make her appearance so beautiful and her whole being so bright and attractive.
She answered:
'I use:
for my lips, truth;
for my voice, kindness;
for my ears, compassion;
for my hands, charity;
for my figure, uprightness;
and for my heart, love!' " - Unknown

"[Poem: about remembering the importance of content over appearance, substance over style and 'not judging a book by its cover'.]
'The Locket'
It was tarnished and old with a broken clasp.
I tossed it into the drawer.
Why did my mother give it to me,
And what would I want it for?
She said I liked it long ago,
When it was shiny and new.
But why she thought I'd like it now,
I really wished I knew.
The years passed by, and my little girl,
Was going through my things,
Slipping bracelets on her arm,
And trying on my rings.
'What's this?' I heard my daughter ask,
As she held it for me to see.
'Why, it's just an old locket,' I replied,
'That your grandma gave to me.'
'Oh, Mommy, isn't it beautiful?
It's shaped just like a book,
With pages you can turn inside,
And pictures... Oh, look, Mommy, look.'
I saw it then through a child's new eyes,
What I should have seen from the start,
The reason my mother treasured it so,
And wore it close to her heart.
Now when I'm tempted to look at the surface,
Discounting what's broken or old,
I think of the locket all tarnished outside
With an inside of purest gold!

"[A true story - with a message about love and true beauty.] - The Beauty of Ugly - Everyone in the apartment complex I lived in knew who Ugly was. Ugly was the resident tomcat. Ugly loved three things in this world: fighting, eating garbage, and, shall we say, love.
The combination of these things combined with a life spent outside had their effect on Ugly. To start with, he had only one eye and where the other should have been was a gaping hole. He was also missing his ear on the same side, his left foot appeared to have been badly broken at one time, and had healed at an unnatural angle, making him look like he was always turning the corner. His tail has long age been lost, leaving only the smallest stub, which he would constantly jerk and twitch.
Ugly would have been a dark grey tabby, striped-type, except for the sores covering his head, neck, even his shoulders with thick, yellowing scabs. Every time someone saw Ugly there was the same reaction. ‘That's one UGLY cat!!’
All the children were warned not to touch him, the adults threw rocks at him, hosed him down, squirted him when he tried to come in their homes, or shut his paws in the door when he would not leave. Ugly always had the same reaction. If you turned the hose on him, he would stand there, getting soaked until you gave up and quit. If you threw things at him, he would curl his lanky body around feet in forgiveness.
Whenever he spied children, he would come running, meowing frantically and bump his head against their hands, begging for their love. If you ever picked him, up he would immediately begin suckling on your shirt, earrings, whatever he could find.
One day Ugly shared his love with the neighbor's huskies. They did not respond kindly, and Ugly was badly mauled. From my apartment I could hear his screams, and I tried to rush to his aid. By the time I got to where he was laying, it was apparent Ugly's sad life was almost at an end.
Ugly lay in a wet circle, his back legs and lower back twisted grossly out of shape, a gaping tear in the white strip of fur that ran down his front. As I picked him up and tried to carry him home, I could hear him wheezing and gasping, and could feel him struggling. It must be hurting him terribly, I thought.
Then I felt a familiar tugging, sucking sensation on my ear. Ugly, in so much pain, suffering and obviously dying, was trying to suckle my ear. I pulled him closer to me, and he bumped the palm of my hand with his head, then he turned his one golden eye towards me, and I could hear the distinct sound of purring. Even in the greatest pain, that ugly battled-scarred cat was asking only for a little affection, perhaps some compassion.
At that moment I thought Ugly was the most beautiful, loving creature I had ever seen. Never once did he try to bite or scratch me, or even try to get away from me, or struggle in any way. Ugly just looked up at me completely trusting in me to relieve his pain.
Ugly died in my arms before I could get inside, but I sat and held him for a long time afterwards, thinking about how one scarred, deformed little stray could so alter my opinion about what it means to have true pureness of spirit, to love so totally and truly. Ugly taught me more about giving and compassion than a thousand books, lectures, or talk show specials ever could, and for that I will always be thankful. He had been scarred on the outside, but I was scarred on the inside, and it was time for me to move on and learn to love truly and deeply. To give my total to those I cared for.
Many people want to be richer, more successful, well liked, beautiful, but for me, I will always try to be Ugly." - Unknown

"[Poem:]
'If the World Was Blind'
If the world was blind,
Maybe then we'd see,
The true side of beauty,
Deep within you and me.
No one could judge us,
By our outer looks,
Like the fancy covers,
On expensive books.
We'd see with our hearts,
And not just our eyes,
And what we'd discover,
Might be a surprise.
There would be no need,
To try to impress,
With the way we look,
Or the way that we dress.
The only thing that would matter,
Is the way we would feel,
Not phoney or cheap,
But truthful and real.

"[A true story - with a message that the consciously chosen contents of a person's heart and mind are infinitely more important than their genetically accidental appearance to all who are wise.] - Ugly Duckling? -
A young girl was depressed because she was not beautiful. She was discouraged, but as she grew older, her attitude changed. 'I realized that not being beautiful was actually a blessing in disguise,' she said. 'It forced me to develop inner resources and strength. I came to understand that women who can't lean on their beauty must work harder to have the advantage.' That girl was Golda Meir. She went on to become the first woman prime minister of Israel. She not only accepted herself, but rejoiced in who she was." - Unknown

The other is good: Joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith. The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, ‘Which wolf wins?’ The Cherokee simply replied, ‘The one I feed.’" - Unknown

"[A true story - with a message about overcoming obstacles with courage, determination and persistence.] The Wilma Rudolph Story -
Wilma Rudolph overcame long odds to become one of the world's best-known athletes. How and why she did what she did are as amazing as her accomplishments.
She was born on June 23, 1940, in Bethlehem, Tennessee. She was born premature, or early, and so she was a weak baby. She was born into a large family (the 20th of 22 children), in a time when African-Americans weren't at the top of the list to get help at America's finest hospitals. She had many diseases as a child, including polio, scarlet fever, and pneumonia; one result of this was that her left leg was partially deformed.
She wouldn't give up, however, and was determined to be like any other child. She wore braces to help herself walk. Her family gave her daily massages on her leg and also drove her to physical therapy sessions. All of these things put together led to the astonishing development of Wilma's taking off the braces entirely when she was 9. Two years later, she was playing basketball! (In her later life, she was fond of saying this: 'My doctors told me I would never walk again. My mother told me I would. I believed my mother.')
Rudolph proved to be a remarkable athlete and caught the attention of the track coach at nearby Tennessee State University, who coached her in track throughout her high school years. She never lost a high school track meet and attended college practices while she was still in high school. At age 16, Wilma competed for and won a spot on the U.S. Olympic Team. Her 4x100-meter relay won the bronze medal at the 1956 Olympics in Melbourne, Australia.
She kept running and got better and better. She enrolled at Tennessee State and continued to win track meets. At the 1960 Olympics in Rome, she became the first American woman—white or black—to win three gold medals in one Olympics. She won the 100 meters, 200 meters, and 4x100-meter relay! Many people called her the 'World's Fastest Woman.' She was named the Associated Press Female Athlete of the Year.
Suddenly, Wilma Rudolph, who was once a little girl who couldn't walk without the help of leg braces, was an international track star. She toured other countries, winning big cheers in England, Germany, Greece, and the Netherlands. When she spoke, people listened.
Her return home to Tennessee was a momentous occasion as well. The governor of her home state wanted to have a victory parade for her, but Rudolph wouldn't allow it unless it didn't include restrictions on people's skin color. The governor agreed, and the parade was the first integrated event in Clarksville, where she had lived since she was very young.
Rudolph remained a public figure, working to help young athletes get better and to improve the rights of African-Americans. She worked as a track coach at DePauw University, in Indiana. She created the Wilma Rudolph Foundation to help young athletes get the recognition and support they deserved. She was voted into the National Track and Field Hall of Hame, as well as the Black Athletes Hall of Fame and the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame. She was also a sports commentator.

"[Poem: about the right attitude to approach life and death]
'Life Owes Me Nothing'
Life owes me nothing. Let the years
bring clouds or azure, joy or tears;
Already a full cup I've quaffed;
already wept and loved and laughed,
And seen, in ever-endless ways,
new beauties overwhelm the days.
Life owes me nought. No pain that waits
can steal the wealth from memory's gates;
No aftermath of anguish slow
can quench the soul fire's early glow.
I breathe, exulting, each new breath,
embracing Life, ignoring Death.
Life owes me nothing. One clear morn
is boon enough for being born;
And be it ninety years or ten,
no need for me to question when.
While Life is mine, I'll find it good,
and greet each hour with gratitude.

Took his beating, but kept going
Never let his courage fail.

"The mystery of life and death has been expressed in metaphors throughout history. For example life has been seen as a tapestry woven on the loom of time [For example the poem, 'The Weaver' by William Henry Burleigh and the poem, 'Tapestry Weavers', by Anson G. Chester]. Another good metaphor that has been used is the water-cycle - where water evaporates into the air from the heat of the sun, where eventually it condenses into clouds and then rain, sleet, snow or hail. Once on the ground it forms into a fast-running stream progressively over time it becomes a wider, slower, deeper river which eventually re-joins the ocean, where the cycle starts again." - Unknown

"[Poem: about the mystery of death and any afterlife. The following poem refers to a fiery hell which some religious traditions believe people go to for all eternity as punishment for a life ignoring their religion's dictates and not repenting, converting and begging forgiveness before death]
'The Hell-Bound Train'
A Texas cowboy lay down on a barroom floor,
Having drunk so much he could drink no more;
So he fell asleep with a troubled brain
To dream that he rode on a hell-bound train.
The engine with murderous blood was damp
And was brilliantly lit with a brimstone lamp;
An imp, for fuel, was shoveling bones,
While the furnace rang with a thousand groans.
The boiler was filled with lager beer
And the devil himself was the engineer;
The passengers were a most motley crew -
Church member, atheist, Gentile, and Jew,
Rich men in broadcloth, beggars in rags,
Handsome young ladies, and withered old hags,
Yellow and black men, red, brown, and white,
All chained together - O God, what a sight!
While the train rushed on at an awful pace -
The sulphurous fumes scorched their hands and face;
Wider and wider the country grew,
As faster and faster the engine flew.
Louder and louder the thunder crashed
And brighter and brighter the lightning flashed;
Hotter and hotter the air became
Till the clothes were burned from each quivering frame.
And out of the distance there arose a yell,
‘Ha, ha,’ said the devil, ‘we're nearing hell!’
Then oh, how the passengers all shrieked with pain
And begged the devil to stop the train.
But he capered about and danced for glee,
And laughed and joked at their misery.
‘My faithful friends, you have done the work
And the devil never can a payday shirk.
‘You've bullied the weak, you've robbed the poor,
The starving brother you've turned from the door;
You've laid up gold where the canker rust,
And you've given free vent to your beastly lust.
‘You've justice scorned, and corruption sown,
And trampled the laws of nature down.
You have drunk, rioted, cheated, plundered, and lied,
And mocked at God in your hell-born pride.
‘You have paid full fare, so I'll carry you through,
For it's only right you should have your due.
Why, the laborer always expects his hire,
So I'll land you safe in the lake of fire,
‘Where your flesh will waste in the flames that roar,
And my imps torment you forevermore.’
Then the cowboy awoke with an anguished cry,
His clothes wet with sweat and his hair standing high
Then he prayed as he never had prayed till that hour
To be saved from his sin and the demon's power;
And his prayers and his vows were not in vain,
For he never rode the hell-bound train.

"[A story - with a message: every obstacle in our path is an opportunity to grow for the good of all.] The Rock in the Road -
In ancient times, a king had a boulder placed on a roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the king's wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it.
Many loudly blamed the king for not keeping the roads clear, but none did anything about getting the big stone out of the way to make the way easier for all to travel. Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. On approaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of the road to make the road free of obstacles for everyone. After much pushing and straining, he finally succeeded. As the peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder had been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the king indicating that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway. The peasant learned what many others never understand:- every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve one's own condition and help others!!" - Unknown

There was a farmer who sold a pound of butter to the baker. One day the baker decided to weigh the butter to see if he was getting a pound and he found that he was not. This angered him and he took the farmer to court. The judge asked the farmer if he was using any measure. The farmer replied, 'I am your Honor.' The judge asked, 'How do you weigh the butter?' The farmer replied 'Your Honor, long before the baker started buying butter from me, I have been buying a pound loaf of bread from him. Every day when the baker brings the bread, I put it on the scale and give him the same weight in butter. Therefore if anyone is to be blamed, if the butter is less than a pound, it is the baker.'
What is the moral of the story? We get back in life what we give to others." - Unknown

"[A story - with a message about doing more than necessary in order to grow and succeed.] - Learn and Earn -
Jing and Chuan joined a wholesale company together just after graduation. Both worked very hard.
After several years, the boss promoted Jing to sales executive but Chuan remained a sales rep. One day Chuan could not take it anymore, so he tendered his resignation and complained to the boss that he did not value the hardest working staff, but only promoted those who flattered him.
The boss knew that Chuan had worked very hard for all the years, but in order to help Chuan realise the difference between him and Jing, the boss asked Chuan to do something for him. He asked him to go and find out if anyone was selling watermelon in the market? Chuan returned and said yes. The boss then asked how much were they selling it per kg? Chuan went back to the market to ask and returned to inform boss they were selling the watermelon for $12 per kg.
The boss then told Chuan to watch what happens when I ask Jing the same original question? Jing went to the market, returned and said to the boss, 'Only one person was selling watermelon. He was selling it for $12 per kg or $100 for 10 kg. He has an inventory of 340 melons. On the table he had 58 melons, with each melon weighing about 15 kg. They were bought from the South two days ago so they are fresh and their quality and taste is good.
Chuan was very impressed and realised the difference between himself and Jing and the difference between the service, quantity, quality and effort, required between a sales representative and a sales executive. He decided not to resign but to learn from Jing." - Unknown

"Life does not always get better just because you are the boss! The following joke is funny but for many small business owners it is also the truth.
The Australian Taxation Office suspected a fishing boat owner wasn't paying proper wages to his deckhand and sent an agent to investigate him.
ATO AUDITOR: 'I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them'.
Boat Owner: 'Well, there's Clarence, my deckhand, he's been with me for 3 years. I pay him $1,000 a week plus free room and board. Then there's the mentally challenged guy. He works about 18 hours every day and does about 90% of the work around here. He makes about $10 per week, pays his own room and board, and I buy him a bottle of Bundaberg rum and a dozen Crown Lagers every Saturday night so he can cope with life. He also gets to sleep with my wife occasionally'.
ATO AUDITOR: 'That's the guy I want to talk to - the mentally challenged one'.
Boat Owner: 'That'll be me. What'd you want to know?'

"[Minimalism, essentialism, priority-ism, priority-living, 'enough-ism':]
The industrialist said to the fisherman, 'Why are you napping under a tree?'
'Because I've caught enough fish for the day.'
'Why don't you catch more?'
'Why would I do that?'
'So you can buy more nets, a bigger boat, go out into deeper waters, then buy a whole fleet of boats and be rich like me.'
'Then what?'
'Well, then you can enjoy life.'
The fisherman: 'What do you think I'm doing now?' " - Unknown
