04: The Way Is Not a Thing



This blog has just been selected as one of the top 25 project Management blogs by TopManagementDegrees.com, many thanks guys.

The Way
The Way is not a thing, it is a single unifying principle, it is about how things happen.  It cannot be found and it cannot be learned, it is just there.  The wise project manager does not search for the way, he runs his project in harmony with the way by following natural law and the single principle.

The Tao is like a well,  
It is used, but never used up.  
It is like an eternal void,  
But filled with infinite possibilities.

Dear P M Blogger,

I can't find your name or email address so I'm sorry I'm contacting you this way. But I would like to invite you for our exclusive blog team of the PMI Netherlands Summit 2013 (June 13th in the Netherlands).
PMI Netherlands Summit is an international platform to discuss the latest international aspects and way of thinking regarding Project, Program and Portfolio Management joined with PMO.

We are now busy getting up a team together of national and international bloggers.
I would like to ask you to publish articles referring to our conference.

We will publish your blog (+ biography) at our website www.pmi-netherlands-summit.com.

Could you let me know if you are interested in working together?
I’m looking forward to hear from you!

Kind Regards,

Chiona Nanlohy
