"[A story - with a message about true intellectual honesty with oneself and others.] - Wisdom -
It always pleased the Master to hear people recognize their ignorance.
‘Wisdom tends to grow in proportion to one's awareness of one's ignorance,’ he claimed. [It is important to being individually wise to know and acknowledge what you do not know for certain; what you have doubt and scepticism about.]
When asked for an explanation, he said, ‘When you come to see you are not as wise today as you thought you were yesterday, you are wiser today.’" - Anthony de Mello, SJ

[Quote No.48903] Need Area: Mind > Imagine
"[A story - with a message:] A man found an eagle's egg and put it in a nest of a barnyard hen. The eaglet hatched with the brood of chicks and grew up with them. All his life the eagle did what the barnyard chicks did, thinking he was a barnyard chicken. He scratched the earth for worms and insects. He clucked and cackled. And he would thrash his wings and fly a few feet into the air.
Years passed and the eagle grew very old. One day he saw a magnificent bird above him in the cloudless sky. It glided in graceful majesty among the powerful wind currents, with scarcely a beat on his strong golden wings. The old eagle looked up in awe. 'Who's that?' he asked. 'That's the eagle, the king of the birds,' said his neighbour. 'He belongs to the sky. We belong to the earth - we're chickens.' So the eagle lived and died a chicken, for that's what he thought [imagined] he was." - Anthony de Mello

[Quote No.32924] Need Area: Fun > Gratitude
"A group of tourists sits in a bus that is passing through gorgeously beautiful country; lakes and mountains and green fields and rivers. But the shades of the bus are pulled down. They do not have the slightest idea of what lies beyond the windows of the bus. And all the time of their journey is spent in squabbling over who will have the seat of honor in the bus, who will be applauded, who will be well considered. And so they remain till the journey's end. [Too many of us are like those tourists, engaged in petty power struggles while the true beauty of life lies all round us, unobserved and unappreciated.]" - Anthony de Mello

[Quote No.51978] Need Area: Fun > Gratitude
"[A story - with a message about controlling the emotions you feel by controlling what you compare your experiences to. So if you compare them to something better then you feel depressed, bitter and unhappy. But if you compare them to something worse then you feel uplifted, grateful and happy.] -
Perspective -
The Master was in a mellow mood and the disciples were inquisitive. Did he ever feel depressed? They asked.
He did.
Wasn't it also true that he was in a continual state of happiness? They persisted.
It was.
What was the secret? They wanted to know.
Said the Master, 'This: Everything is as good or as bad as one's opinion makes it [by what you compare it to].' " - Anthony de Mello
(1931 – 1987), Anthony 'Tony' de Mello was an Indian Jesuit priest and psychotherapist, as well as a spiritual teacher, writer and public speaker. This quote is from the book, 'One Minute Wisdom'.

"[A story - with a message about being grateful that things are not worse.] - Happiness -
'I am in desperate need of help -- or I'll go crazy. We're living in a single room -- my wife, my children and my in-laws. So our nerves are on edge, we yell and scream at one another. The room is a hell.'
'Do you promise to do whatever I tell you?' said the Master gravely.
'I swear I shall do anything.'
'Very well. How many animals do you have?'
'A cow, a goat and six chickens.'
'Take them all into the room with you. Then come back after a week.'
The disciple was appalled. But he had promised to obey! So he took the animals in. A week later he came back, a pitiable figure, moaning, 'I'm a nervous wreck. The dirt! The stench! The noise! We're all on the verge of madness!'
'Go back,' said the Master, 'and put the animals out.'
The man ran all the way home. And came back the following day, his eyes sparkling with joy. 'How sweet life is! The animals are out. The home is a Paradise, so quiet and clean and roomy!'" - Anthony de Mello, SJ
From 'One Minute Wisdom'.
