daily inventory

Posted: Fri, Jul 30, 2004 04:47:03 AM

i usually do my inventory at night but this morning i feel a bit out of sorts and disconnected so....
.... i probably need to a quick spot inventory about my feelings before i start dealing with the world.
am i truly grateful to be sucking air this morning -- Yes
do i believe i have power to fix something -- Yes specifically the computer filled with self-replicating crapware -- and here is the rub i have been fighting this beast for the past day and it does not seem to get better -- i need to do some further resaerch and ask for help ---
and that is exactly the problem
Somewhere in my recent experience i have gotten the notion that maybe i know something computers
and this is exactly the problem, i do know a thing or two about the repair of PCs but there are volumes of things that i do not have a clue about and you know that is alright. i can do the research find the tools and reapply myself to the problem at hand. i know that i can succeed if i seek the answers and take the suggestion of those who have more experience with these problems.
sort of like the program -- i all have to admit that i do not know today, ask for help and follow a few suggestions and i can succeed at this too.
and you know that i am already feeling better. i identified a feeling, explored what i knew about it, shared it and discovered a path towards resolution.
how 'bout that, inventories work!

Tao Te Ching

☯ The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao ☯

The Tao Teh King, or The Tao and Its Characteristics
by Lao-Tse
Translated by James Legge

Book 2

3) Thus it is that dignity finds its (firm) root in its (previous)
meanness, and what is lofty finds its stability in the lowness (from
which it rises). Hence princes and kings call themselves 'Orphans,'
'Men of small virtue,' and as 'Carriages without a nave.' Is not this
an acknowledgment that in their considering themselves mean they see
the foundation of their dignity? So it is that in the enumeration
of the different parts of a carriage we do not come on what makes
it answer the ends of a carriage. They do not wish to show themselves
elegant-looking as jade, but (prefer) to be coarse-looking as an (ordinary)
stone.
