These are my musings on project management and life and how they map onto Taoist philosophy based on my book "The Way of the Project Manager" (ISBN 978-1481076111), published by CreateSpace and available from Amazon in hard copy and on Amazon Kindle.

79: Win or Loose
We are all one; there are no sides to take. The wise project manger goes along with what is happening anyway, for this is the way of the project manager.
Lao Tzu tells us:
After a bitter quarrel, some resentment must remain.
What can one do about it?
Therefore the sage keeps half of the bargain
But does not exact his due.
A man of virtue performs his part,
But a man without virtue requires others to fulfil their obligations.
The Tao of heaven is impartial.
It stays with good men all the time.
