The Project
I
am now up to date (here) with my re-translation of Lao Tzu’s words of wisdom!
The Way
The
wise project manager is aware of how things happen and this makes their words more
potent and their behaviour more effective. Sharing the way is the greatest gift
they can give.
Lao
Tsu tells us:
Tao is the source of
the ten thousand things.
It is the treasure of
the good man, and the refuge of the bad.
Sweet words cannot buy
honour;
Good deeds can gain
respect.
If a man is bad, do
not abandon him.
Therefore on the day
the emperor is crowned,
Or the three officers
of state installed,
Do not send a gift of
jade and a team of four horses,
But remain still and
offer the Tao.
Why does everyone
like the Tao so much at first?
Isn’t it because you
find what you seek and are forgiven when you sin?
Therefore this is the
greatest treasure of the universe.
