    <title>Dec 8, Master of living</title>
    <link>http://www.tao-in-you.com/nonbeing.html</link>
    <description>You may be a teacher.  You may be a salesperson.  You may be an entrepreneur.  How can you be the best of teachers, salespersons or entrepreneurs?  Try this:  Do not see yourself as a teacher, a salesperson, or an entrepreneur.  Rather, see yourself as a master of living!  Live thoroughly, and you will be the best of what you are.  As Lao Tzu say, All things are born of being, being is born of nonbeing. (Chapter 40)</description>

    <title>Dec 4, Over sharpen a knife, you takes away its edge</title>
    <link>http://www.tao-in-you.com/in_tao.html</link>
    <description>Over sharpen a knife, you takes away its edge.  
Fill the house with gold and jade, you end up feeling insecure.
Overdo with honor and pride, no one can save you from a fall.
Know where the limit is, happy always you will be.</description>

    <title>Aug 10, Be Ready to get the Least</title>
    <link>http://www.tao-in-you.com/tao-blog.html#Be-Ready-to-get-the-Least</link>
    <description>One of the biggest reasons why people fail in life is fear.  

A way to overcome fear is as Tao puts it -- learn to appreciate moderation.  Aim for the best, but be happy to get even the least -- and appreciate whatever you get.  

For example, if you put in your best, but are still rejected by the person you like, the very least that it can get is to have a clear idea of what the person think of you.  Better still, it may allow you to come up with a better strategy when you make your second attempt.

When you can appreciate the least, fear could very well leave you alone  because you can afford to lose.  Without fear, you become more confident and are more at ease.  

Paradoxically, it is because you can accept the least that you may get more.   This is because the confidence that you have earned increases in your chances of success.

&quot;There is nothing better than moderation, for teaching people or serving Heaven. -  Lao Tzu</description>

    <title>Jun 26, Compliment or Blame? No Worry</title>
    <link>http://www.tao-in-you.com/tao-blog.html#Compliment-or-Blame?-No-Worry</link>
    <description>Tao is about staying close to reality, about clear mind.

It is therefore very apt that Lao Tzu began his book Tao Te Ching with the following verse:

    The tao that can be described
    is not the eternal Tao.
    The name that can be spoken
    is not the eternal Name.

It is not that we don't want to speak the truth. It is simply that whatever we say is often constrained, or even distorted, by our knowledge, experience or insights. On the other hand, there are also limitations on the part of the listener. She has her own set of constraints as well.

We must therefore view compliments and blames with detachment.

When we can stay detached, we will not be easily disturbed by whatever said -- even when it is a compliment. We tend to stay closer to reality as a result of the detachment.

Staying detached is one of the prerequisites for the appreciation of Tao.</description>
