Tao63
Dear All,
Work is very much under control. All has been sorted for now (as ever) and I am putting my feet up for the moment and perusing the Tao:
"63:
Act in repose;
Be at rest when you work;
Relish unflavored things.
Great or small,
Frequent or rare,
Requite anger with virtue.
Take hard jobs in hand
While they are easy;
And great affairs too
While they are small.
The troubles of the world
Cannot be solved except
Before they grow too hard.
The business of the world
Cannot be done except
While relatively small.
The Wise Man, then, throughout his life
Does nothing great and yet achieves
A greatness of his own.
Again, a promise lightly made
Inspires little confidence;
Or often trivial, sure that man
Will often come to grief.
Choosing hardship, then, the Wise Man
Never meets with hardship all his life."
I apply such a thing to my work; solve problems before they arise and do so relaxedly. Much better than running around achieving nothing.
Yours,
Deutschy
