Turtle

"Imagine that the whole earth was covered with water, and a man was to throw a yoke with a hole in it into the water. Blown by the wind, that yoke would drift north, south, east and west. Now, suppose that once in hundred years a blind turtle would rise to the surface. What do you think? Would that turtle put his head through the hole in the yoke as he rose to the surface once in a hundred years?"

"It is unlikely Lord."

"Well, it is just as unlikely that one will be born as a human being; it is just unlikely that a Tathagata, a Noble One, a fully enlightened Buddha should arise in the world; and it is just as unlikely that the Dhamma and discipline of the Tathagata should be taught. But now you have been born as a human being, a Tathagata has arisen and the Dhamma has been taught. Therefore, strive to realize the Four Noble Truths."

Payout for Hard Work

To be honest, I have not seen the actual fruit of what I have done, other than some people acknowledging that piece of work saying it's "great news" as it saves them a lot of trouble in internal mass communication.

And to do that, been housekeeping some lists for some time.. and I've been cursing other people everytime I "discover" more mistakes as I housekeep the list... the reasons why the thing was not up? one of the reasons... experienced people will see the amount of work to maintain the thing, so no one wanted to take ownership...

Will need to wait a few more days to see what problems will arise from this thing... tried very hard to clean up the list, but if other parties are still slacking, I can't housekeep forever for them...
