Keep It Simple Stupid (KISS) is one of my favourite acronyms. As project managers, if we want to be free we must act and live simply.
The poor project manager tries every new tool that appears and reads every new project management book that comes out, hoping it will give him the edge. The world is always full of new and exciting things, so what?
The Way
The wise project manager is happy to use whatever he has and is content with wherever he is. There is no point in trying to solve a problem by moving somewhere else, changing employers or friends. He knows the grass is not greener on the other side of the fence. The good project manager keeps everything simple and makes space for spending time with the team.
A small country has fewer people.
Though they have skilled men,
They are not needed.
The people take death seriously,
And do not move far away.
Though there are boats and carriages,
There is nowhere they want to go to.
Though they have armour and weapons,
They have no need to one display them.
People return to knotting of rope,
And using it.
Savour their food, admire their clothes,
Their homes are tranquil,
Their ways pleasurable.
