A fish peddler woman was caught in rain and so took shelter at the
veranda of a house.

The rain did not seem to subside. So the fisher woman thought of
taking a nap for some time and closed her eyes. But she could not sleep
peacefully because of the smell from the house. The smell was very disturbing. 
It was the house of a flower vendor and the fragrance of flowers was very
irritating for the woman; 
finally she took her fish basket nearby and in the
smell of fish she could get her sleep and relaxed well.

Learning

It is conditioned response from the fish vendor.
While people in general may prefer the
fragrance of flowers to fish smell 
the vendor feels at home with the smell of
fish.
NLP calls this as ANCHORING,(conditioning)
Anchor is any stimulus that elicits a particular response.
Anchors form unconsciously.
NLP teaches how to anchor consciously for desired response and
also collapsing unwanted response.

Rupee note in all its pride said to the coin,
“I keep rolling in
the hands of celebrities;
high valued commodities are bought with my power”

The coin said,
“I am saved in the piggy bank of dear children;
I
am preserved in temples ;
I am very much satisfied with what I am” 

Learning:
Everyone has intrinsic merit and worth. 
Self worth is not determined by net worth.
Each is useful in some specific context.


NLP says we are all unique in our ways     
No need to compare; no need to compete.
We must respect the individual model of the world.
Appropriateness of anything must be evaluated in the context of the happening and not based on a generalized comparison

Appreciate your uniqueness; 
Self appreciation s the best appreciation.

A philosopher who had only one pair of shoes asked the cobbler to
repair them while he would wait.
The cobbler said,’ it is closing time and please come tomorrow to
take deliver “
The philosopher said, “I have only this pair of shoes; I can’t
walk bare foot.”
“I can lend you another pair of shoes till then” said the cobbler
“What? Wearing someone’s shoes? What do you take me for?” asked
the philosopher in an intemperate tone.
The cobbler replied sarcastically, “you don’t hesitate to carry
other people’s ideas in your head; why object to wearing someone’s shoe on your
feet?’’
Moral :
It is very important to have hands on experience to gain
expertise, especially when facing real life which does not follow a set script
you need to be alive to the situation and respond appropriately. This can
happen if you proceed out of real life experience.
NLP asks you to go by your inner guidance system as evidenced by
your senses. 
Authenticity comes by experience.

A man is walking down
the beach and comes across a sealed bottle.  
He picks it up and
pulls out the cork. Out pops a genie and says that it can grant 3 wishes. 
The man asks for 1
billion dollar in Swiss bank & gets it
“I want a red Ferrari” –
in no time he gets it.
He continues, “I want to be irresistible to women”
POOF!! He turns into a
box of chocolates
Moral :
When we communicate we
must be specific about what we want or ask. 
If not we leave room for people to
derive their meaning. 
The intended meaning becomes a variant to derived
meaning.
In fact meaning of
communication is based upon the recipient.

Hence
communicator has to take responsibility for the outcome of communication by
seeking feedback from the respondent.

A monk decides to meditate alone, away from his monastery. 
He
takes his boat out to the middle of the lake, moors it there, closes his eyes
and begins his meditation. After a few hours of undisturbed silence, he
suddenly feels the bump of another boat colliding with his own. With his eyes
still closed, he senses his anger rising, and by the time he opens his eyes, he
is ready to scream at the boatman who dared to disturb his meditation. But when he opens his eyes, he sees it’s an empty
boat that had probably got untethered and floated to the middle of the lake. At
that moment, the monk achieves self-realization, and understands that the anger
is within him; it merely needs the bump of an external object to provoke it out
of him. From then on, whenever he comes across someone who irritates him or
provokes him to anger, he reminds himself, “The other person is merely an empty
boat. The anger is within me.”
Moral
Nothing inherently
has meaning except the meaning we give to it;
The response is based on the conditioning; stimulus is only
an opportunity to study our pattern of behavior.
On many occasions when we lose our cool we blame our
circumstance;
so long as we blame we are at the mercy of circumstance. 
Between stimulus and response if we have choices then we
can make intelligent response.

Self responsibility is the prudent way to gain self mastery 
NLP can help those who are willing to take responsibility for change

SENSITIVITY
“How shall I experience
my oneness with creation?”
“By listening,” said the
Master.
“And how am I to
listen?”
“Become an ear that
gives heed to every single thing the universe is saying.
The moment you hear
something you yourself are saying, stop.”
Moral: 
Being alive to
everything around is important in order to understand better.Suspending one’s agenda and evaluation if one
can pay attention to what is going on around one can get enlightenment, may be emancipation
from enslaving thought patterns.
NLP calls this UPTIME
UPTIME refers to a more worldly
state of awareness that emphasizes external awareness
When you’re in uptime, you perceive the world
around you in much greater accuracy and you absorb patterns with much greater
facility.
