Reading Options

I am excited to read the stories about Ramayana and Mahabharata because it relates to Buddhism. One of the stories that grabbed my attention was the Public Domain Edition of the Ramayana. I am intrigued to read more about Ramayana's life. Another great thing about this edition is that it includes audio clips too. Another book that I became interested was the Rama and the Monkeys. The story line with the monkeys can relate to many things like sacrifice and love. Lastly, the Public Domain Edition: Mahabharata book seemed cool to read. It includes different written authors and styles that they use in stories.

Ramayana, Link Text.

One of the articles that got me interested was  What Kinds of Messages Help Kids Grow?  For a person that wants to seek towards the medical route to become a pediatrician, it reminded me that kids are a huge factor as they get older. Most people start off learning the basics and work their way up to become a successful adult when they were toddlers. It makes sense that if you want to provide a strong motivation for a child, award him/her with "Excellent!" and/or "You did great!" However, it is also best to complete those phrases into a sentence where these kids can learn and obtain this information to use later in their future. Whenever I see a child at my youth group doing little good things like picking up a trash that wasn't his or hers, I would say, "Thank you for picking up the trash and throwing it away in the trash bin!" as an example. Another article that got me interested in reading was  How to Give Feedback Without Sounding Like a Jerk . So...

Once upon a time, there was a little boy, named Bill. Bill and his mom were about to walk into their favorite restaurant at BJ's for dinner. "Mommy, can I get a pizookie?" said Bill. "Not yet sweetie. You have to order and eat actual food first." said the Mom. "Ugh, you're so extra. Okay, Mommy." said the little boy. As they were ordering their meal, a beautiful young waitress approaches. "Hi, my name is Beyonce and I will be your server for this evening. Would you guys like to start off with a drink?" said the waitress. While the Mom was ordering her drink, the little boy was glaring into the waitresses eyes. "Yes please, can I just get a cup of water with lemon?" said the Mom. "Of course." said the Waitress. "And for you, sir?" "Oh I would have a margarita." said Bill. "Honey, you can't have that... I'm sorry, he'll just have a Dr. Pepper." said the Mother...

Reading Notes: Narayan's Mahabharata, Part B

Notes: Duryodhana was stressed when he found out that the Pandavas were still alive. Bhishma and Vidura encourages Dhritarashtra to make peace. Karna denounces both as traiters and urges for war. He invites the Pandavas back to Hastinapura and gave them parts of his kingdom. The Pandavas build a magnificent city called Indraprastha. Yudhishthira is crowned as king at Indraprastha. Maya was saved from the fire. The Pandavas laugh at Duryodhana when he was fulled with the illusions in the hall. Vyasa comes to visit the Pandavas & wants to warn them about the bad omens. Dhritarashtra agrees to build a great assembly hall, the Crystal Palace, to rival the hall of the Pandavas. Shakuni is going to play in the dice game in Duryodhana's place. Yudhishthira loses everything he owns. Vidura urges Dhritarashtra to put a stop to the dice game, but the game still continues. Yudhishthira then gambles away his brothers and then himself. Duhshasana drags Draupadi by th...
