Nan-en, was a Japanese Zen master who lived during the Meiji era (late 19th century). A college professor came to town to visit Nan-en and learn what Zen is. As they were both seated at the table, Nan-en served tea. He poured the professor’s porcelain cup full, but then he kept on pouring. The professor watched the overflow for a while. Then he could no longer restrain himself. “Master Nan-en, the cup is full. No more tea will go in!” “Like this cup,” Nan-en said, “your mind is full of your own thoughts, opinions, speculations. You cannot learn Zen unless you first empty your cup.”

The “Coronary and Ulcer Club” lists the following rules for members… 

1. Your job comes first. Forget everything else. 

2. Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays are fine times to be working at the office. There will be nobody else there to bother you. 

3. Always have your briefcase with you when not at your desk. This provides an opportunity to review completely all the troubles and worries of the day. 

4. Never say “no” to a request. Always say “yes.” 

5. Accept all invitations to meetings, banquets, committees, etc. 

6. All forms of recreation are a waste of time. 

7. Never delegate responsibility to others; carry the entire load yourself. 

8. If your work calls for traveling, work all day and travel at night to keep that appointment you made for eight the next morning. 

9. No matter how many jobs you already are doing, remember you always can take on more.

3/29–Start Your Day Off Right Series

Quote:

3/29–The amazing thing about love and attention and encouragement and grace and success and joy is it these things are infinite. 

We get a new supply every single morning, and so we can give it away all day!

Story:

Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.

Humor:

3/29–As someone else has said, “She won’t listen to her conscience. She doesn’t want to take advice from a total stranger.”

3/29–Let the silence settle

And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life? And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God. Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother. And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth. Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me. And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions.
