Lao Tzu – Para Arquitectos de Sistemas e Gestores de Projectos

I have just three things to teach:  simplicity, patience, compassion. These three are your greatest treasures.
Simple in actions and in thoughts,  you return to the source of being.
Patient with both friends and enemies, you accord with the way things are.
Compassionate toward yourself, you reconcile all beings in the world.

If you realize all things change, there is nothing you will try to hold on to.

If you are not afraid of dying, there is nothing you cannot achieve.

Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love.

Knowing others is wisdom, knowing yourself is enlightenment.

Mastering others is strength. Mastering yourself is true power.

Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.

Silence is a source of great strength.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step

The Master gives himself up to whatever the moment brings.
He knows that he is going to die, and he has nothing left to hold on to: no illusions in his mind, no resistances in his body.
He doesn’t think about his actions; they flow from the core of his being.
He holds nothing back from life; therefore he is ready for death, as a man is ready for sleep after a good day’s work.

Ordinary men hate solitude. But the Master makes use of it, embracing his aloneness, realizing he is one with the whole universe.
