Tao

I am still reading the Tao but so far it is very insightful, although as I read it I wonder how practical it is. In a world like today, who has time to meditate and learn about deeper concepts in life like the Tao.
One line that strikes me said something to the effect that "When her work is done she forgets it, that is why it lasts forever." It sort of struck a chord with me because I'm always moving on to a new project, so once my work is done I forget it, but it doesn't last forever...
