Zustand: Gut. Zustand: Gut | Seiten: 90 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | This is a short, quick, and easy read. Most of these anecdotes are probably just OK, but there should be at least one or two that you will want to tell your friends. Retold in my own words to avoid plagiarism. Most of these anecdotes are meant to…be funny, but some are meant to be thought-provoking. Some samples: 1) Entertainer Eddie Cantor put his knowledge of human nature to use while raising money for charity in what was reputed to be a tough town for fundraising. He did it by appearing to get sicker and sicker just before the fundraiser, even calling to see if someone could host the event for him at the last minute-which of course no one could. Because the people of the town thought Mr. Cantor was dying and was making his last request, he succeeded in raising $450,000 in a town where he normally would have been lucky to raise $150,000. 2) As a Methodist preacher in Texas, Edwin Porter attended Annual Conference each year, where he found out to which church he would be assigned for the following year and where stewards voted on allocating funds to worthy projects. One such project was the bishops' fund, but when discussion arose on this important topic, one steward didn't hear the final letter of the word "fund." The steward stood up and said, "Now, Brother Porter, I want to be a good member of the church and pay my part, but there's one thing I'm not willing to contribute to-that's the bishop's fun. Why can't the bishop pay for his own fun?" 3) Two Rabbis, one of whom had many followers and one of whom had few followers, began talking. The first Rabbi, who had few followers, said that the other Rabbi had so many followers because the people thought that he could work wonders such as healing the sick and reading people's minds, then the first Rabbi asked if the other Rabbi knew what he was thinking. "Of course," said the Rabbi with many followers. "You are thinking of the verse in Tehillim, 'I have placed Hashem [God] before me always.'" "No," said the Rabbi with few followers. "I was not thinking of that verse." The Rabbi who had many followers said, "Then that's why you have so few followers." 4) Zen masters sometimes hide themselves, appearing to be ordinary people while practicing Zen in secret. One such Zen master took an unusual occupation in Japan-he ran a floating outdoor tea room. He searched for spots of natural beauty, filled with flowers and beautiful scents, then made tea there for anyone who wanted it. This sign announced his prices: "The price of tea is however much you give me, from a hundred pounds of gold to half a penny. You can even drink for free, if you like; but I can't give you a better bargain than that.".
