little_kahuna Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I read a lot of Lao Tzu, who is an ancient Chinese philosopher, and the founder of Taoism. While reading, I read a verse that is relative to shooting mentality. I think most would agree that: "By letting it go, it all gets done. But when you try and try, the world is beyond winning." -Lao Tzu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlamoShooter Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I like "Winning is in the Doing" ....leaving the part unsaid that it is not in the trying. I can say in for my self that when I was Trying, I did not do so well , But when I applied my self to the Doing Of IT things turned out good.

Mog Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 I came across this while reading Andrew Wyeth's obit, and it kind of reminded me of this thread: Artists today think of everything they do as a work of art. It is important to forget about what you are doing - then a work of art may happen. Andrew Wyeth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
