Tao 2, a central tenant of Taoism:

Without seeking to control; takes everything as it comes,
Lives not to achieve or possess,
But simply to be
In Harmony with
Tao.

An Old Fashioned Girl
By Louisa May Alcott
Although not as well known as Little Women, this is one of
Alcott's most charming and appealing books. Polly's humor and good will

The Red Fairy Book
Wonderful classic stories of magic and mystery
complied by Andrew Lang
There was once a man who had three sons. The youngest of them was called Dullhead, and was sneered and jeered at and snubbed on every possible opportunity.
One day it happened that the eldest son wished to go into the forest to cut wood, and before he started his mother gave him a fine rich cake and a bottle of wine, so that he might be sure not to suffer from hunger or thirst.
When he reached the forest he met a little old grey man who wished him "Good-morning," and said: "Do give me a piece of that cake you have got in your pocket, and let me have a draught of your wine — I am so hungry and thirsty —"
Can you guess which son will respond kindly to this question, and be blessed with the talisman that helps him earn his fortune?
This collection includes over thirty splendid tales, many of them told with broad humor.
