Work, The Zen Way

Do at the very end, what must be done. For what must be done will be done, and what could be done won’t.

Work as hard as you need to, so that the job gets done. If little work gets the job done, don’t work harder, look for another job.

If you are unsure about what to do, sleep. When you wake up, you will still be unsure, but at least you will no longer be sleepy.

When faced with a task, ask just one question: can you do it? If yes, then there is no need to panic. If no, then there is no need to panic.

History does not predict the future. You have already learnt from it. Try not to waste your energy remem­bering it.

When faced with a choice, do what you like to do. That way, you will always do things that you like to do.

When you have no choice, do not to invent new ones and wail about their non-existence.

Work is just a part of your life, so do it; work is just one part of your life, so don’t do it all the time.
