Zen And The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance had been on my to-read list for a while, but I have still not gotten to it yet. I need to make it an effort to get to it before the end of this year.

To a certain extent, I think "not focusing on making money actually makes more money" applies to businesses and careers in general. I always believe that if you're too concerned about making money, your mind will not be able to focus on making the best decisions or doing your best in a business or a career. Focus on doing something that provides value for others, do the best you can at it, and the money will naturally come.

Another things is, when I read this:

It reminded me of Jin Yong's novel The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber when Zhang Sanfeng invented Tai Chi and taught it to Zhang Wuji, Sanfeng asked Wuji to forget all the moves after Wuji learned and memorized it all. Sanfeng told Wuji that "The essence of Tai Chi is in its sense, not in its moves. When you have forgotten all the Tai Chi moves, you will have mastered the Tai Chi style." I'm not sure if that's the Buddist way or the Taoist way; maybe it's simply the way to mastery, that when you become a master, you can just act according to the situation without having to think about it.

Thanks for the great post.
