“Keep still.
Don’t work so hard.
Learn to appreciate everyday life.
Pay attention to details.
Start small and work your way up.
When people give you trouble, let it slide.” Tao Te Ching

Erinnert ihr euch noch an Jason, den Argonauten, der das Goldene Vlies raubte? Er reiste damals nach Kolchis, nach Georgien; verliebte sich dort in die Priesterin Medea, und diese half ihm bei der Aufgabe. Danach fliehen beide nach Korinth.
Der folgende Auszug aus der Interpretation der Geschichte von Christa Wolf spielt in Korinth. Medea ist aus dem Palast des Königs Kreon verstoßen worden, und hat soeben das schreckliche Geheimnis entdeckt, auf das die Stadt gebaut ist.

How to energize geeks to attack a failing project - Rands in Response
- R: I listed the 10 worst bugs I’d found during the weekend on the board. Next to each bug, I drew four boxes: Root cause, Fix identified, Fixed, Tested
- R: I grabbed a handful of dry erase pens and rolled the board into the architect’s office and said, “This is all we’re working on”.
- A: He stared at the board for 10 minutes and finally nodded, “Good, but each person needs their own color and you should assign points for each of the boxes. 10 points for root cause and fix identification, 5 for fixes and tests.”
- R: “Points for what?”
- A: “Points for points. We’re geeks.”

“The best way to control people is to encourage them to be mischievous. Then they will be in control in its wider sense. To give your sheep or cow a large, spacious meadow is the way to control him. So it is with people: first let them do what they want, and watch them. This is the best policy. To ignore them is not good; that is the worst policy. The second worst is trying to control them. The best one is to watch them, just to watch them, without trying to control them.” Suzuki-roshi: Zen Mind, Beginner’s Mind
