Memorable KM advice from Lao Tsu

Posted on 14:19 by Unknown
Inspired by Zen Motorcycles, I am reading Tao Te Ching for the first time. Paraphrasing chapters one and two, here is

Lao Tsu's guide to Knowledge Management:


ONE

The name that can be named is not the eternal name.
Without desiring names, one can see the mystery.
Ever desiring names, one can see manifestations.

TWO

Therefore the sage goes about doing nothing, teaching no-talking.
The ten thousand things rise and fall without cease,
Creating, yet not possessing,
Working, yet not taking credit.
Work is done, then forgotten.
Therefore it lasts forever.
