Over 2,500 years ago, the Buddha was sitting in his ashram surrounded by students who hung onto his every word while searching for their own enlightenment. 

One of these students, a young man, had been coming for years, but never put anything he learned into practice.

Have you ever been in a situation where you needed to choose between competing projects?

You could do A, B, or C – but find it difficult to prioritise and choose which one would give you the greatest return on any time, money and energy you expend on it?

Once upon a time in a small village there was a mother with three young sons.

Being a hard working and busy mother, she asked her one of her sons to go to the local milkman and buy a jug of milk.

A little while later, he came back in tears with a sorry tale of woe.  He'd stumbled and spilt half the milk and thought he'd really stuffed up.  After all, they were a poor family and could ill afford to waste money.
