THE COMPASS & THE STARS

English Green Paradise

The clever build walls around certainty.

The foolish keep a window open
for the stars.

Kẻ thông minh xây những bức tường quanh điều mình chắc chắn.

Kẻ khờ vẫn để một ô cửa mở
cho những vì sao.

A captain who believes his compass is infallible
may never notice that the compass is broken.

But the foolish sailor looks up.

She watches the wind.

She listens to the waves.

She learns from every storm.

Một người thuyền trưởng tin rằng chiếc la bàn của mình không bao giờ sai
có thể chẳng bao giờ nhận ra chính chiếc la bàn đã hỏng.

Nhưng người thủy thủ khù khờ ngước nhìn bầu trời.

Nàng nhìn gió.

Nàng lắng nghe sóng.

Nàng học từ mỗi cơn bão.

The Idiot Lady

is not a celebration of ignorance.

She is a rebellion against the arrogance

of believing that intelligence makes us infallible.

The Idiot Lady

không tôn vinh sự ngu dốt.

Nàng là một sự phản kháng

đối với lòng kiêu ngạo của kẻ nghĩ rằng

trí thông minh khiến mình không thể sai.

For intelligence without humility

can become another kind of blindness.

And knowledge without compassion

can become another kind of power.

Bởi trí thông minh không có khiêm nhường

có thể trở thành một dạng mù lòa khác.

Và tri thức không có lòng trắc ẩn

có thể trở thành một dạng quyền lực khác.

HEAVEN FAVORS THE FOOLISH

Heaven favors the foolish—

not because they know less,

but because they still have room to learn.

Trời thương kẻ khờ—

không phải vì họ biết ít hơn,

mà vì trong họ

vẫn còn một khoảng trống để học hỏi.

The wise may possess the map.

The foolish may discover the way.

Người khôn có thể sở hữu tấm bản đồ.

Kẻ khờ có thể là người tìm ra con đường.

And sometimes,

the person everyone calls an idiot

is simply the only one brave enough

to admit:

“I don't know.

Let's find out.”

Và đôi khi,

người mà tất cả gọi là kẻ ngốc

chỉ là người duy nhất đủ can đảm để nói:

“Tôi không biết.

Hãy cùng tìm câu trả lời.”

NGƯỜI BÁN VÉ SỐ

THE LOTTERY TICKET SELLER

She carries neither a crown nor a compass.

Only a bundle of tickets,

a pair of tired feet,

and another day to survive.

Nàng không mang vương miện,

cũng chẳng mang la bàn.

Nàng chỉ mang những tấm vé số,

đôi bàn chân mỏi mệt,

và một ngày nữa để mưu sinh.

Yet perhaps every ticket

contains the same human question:

What if tomorrow is different?

Có lẽ, mỗi tấm vé

đều chứa cùng một câu hỏi của con người:

“Nếu ngày mai khác đi thì sao?”

She sells dreams to strangers

while carrying her own.

Nàng bán những giấc mơ cho người xa lạ

trong khi chính mình cũng đang mang một giấc mơ.

That is not foolishness.

That is survival.

That is hope.

Đó không phải là sự khù khờ.

Đó là mưu sinh.

Đó là hy vọng.

P/S — THE OLD WISDOM

“Thánh nhân đãi kẻ khù khờ.”

Perhaps the old saying was never really about foolishness.

Perhaps it was about humility.

Because the person who admits

“I may be wrong”

still has a destination ahead.

Có lẽ câu nói xưa chưa bao giờ thật sự nói về sự ngu ngốc.

Có lẽ nó nói về lòng khiêm nhường.

Bởi người dám nói

“Có thể tôi sai”

vẫn còn một chân trời để đi tới.

SSS — STANDARDS · SYSTEMS · SKILLS

Standards give us direction.

Systems give us structure.

Skills give us the ability to sail.

Chuẩn mực cho ta phương hướng.

Hệ thống cho ta cấu trúc.

Kỹ năng cho ta khả năng ra khơi.

But humility tells the captain

when to change course.

Nhưng chính sự khiêm nhường

mới nói cho người thuyền trưởng

khi nào cần đổi hướng.

THE IDIOT LADY

Heaven Favors the Foolish.

Trời Thương Đãi Kẻ Khù Khờ.

The Eightfold — core practical guide in Buddhism for ending suffering. It’s often grouped into three trainings: , Conduct, and Discipline.

Right : See reality clearly—recognize suffering, its causes, and the possibility of liberation.

Right : Cultivate intentions of renunciation, harmlessness, and goodwill (non-ill-will).

Right : Speak truthfully, kindly, and use speech that heals rather than harms.

Right : Behave ethically—avoid killing, stealing, and sexual misconduct; act with compassion.

Right : Earn a living without causing harm; choose work aligned with ethical values.

Right : Actively prevent unwholesome states and cultivate wholesome ones; persistent, balanced effort.

Right : Maintain present-moment, nonjudgmental awareness of body, feelings, mind, and phenomena.

Right : Develop focused, stable, and tranquil states of mind (meditative absorption) that support .

Together they form an integrated, practical path: ethical behavior supports mental training; mindfulness and concentration enable insight; insight view and intention, reducing suffering.

According to the Buddha, the Noble Eightfold Path is the path to liberation from samsara.

It consists of Right View, Right , Right Speech, Right Action, Right Livelihood, Right Effort, Right , and Right Concentration.

The first seven practices are pillars that support Right Concentration. Without Right Concentration, one cannot overcome the ignorant belief of an independently existing self, which is the root of samsara.

What are the first seven pillars?

Right View

Right View is the knowledge of the Four Noble Truths. When we genuinely understand the Four Noble Truths, we realize that the further our perception is from reality, the more we suffer.

The Truth of Suffering: We are living in an ongoing state of dissatisfaction.

The Truth of the Origin of Suffering: Suffering/dissatisfaction arises from causes and conditions.

The Truth of Cessation: There is a possibility of reaching a state where that dissatisfaction/suffering has ceased.

The Truth of the Path: There is a path for us to follow that will bring us to such a state.

To see reality through the lens of the Four Noble Truths is to have the “Right View,” which leads to truth and liberation. Denying the

Four Truths or living with a view that contradicts them will lead to further confusion and dissatisfaction.

THE NOBLE EIGHTFOLD PATH

How do the first seven pillars support the eighth?

Right Concentration means to remain withdrawn from our senses and focused upon the object of our meditation while we practice.

We develop a stable mind by avoiding counterproductive, harmful thoughts and actions. By creating a situation where our mind isn’t easily disturbed, we can be more engaged in our practice. Through this approach, we become more skillful meditators.

We can also summarize the Eightfold Path by breaking it into three, easy-to-remember categories, known as the Three Higher Trainings:

Ethics: Right Action, Right Speech, and Right Livelihood.

Meditative Concentration: Right Mindfulness, Right Effort, and

Right Concentration.

Wisdom: Right View and Right Resolve.

Resolve

Right Resolve is to be resolved on renunciation—the wish to be freed from suffering, resolved on freedom. We gain Right Resolve by contemplating the precious human birth, death and impermanence, karmic causes and results, and the sufferings of samsara.

By realizing that nothing in the realm of samsaric experience is a reliable source of happiness, we gain the wish to be entirely free from the cycle.

Right Speech

Right Speech means to abstain from idle chatter and false, divisive, or harsh speech. For example, if we are in a situation where people are talking negatively about someone else, we do not engage and instead express that we do not want to take part in the conversation.

We all know that moment when the office “water cooler” chit chat becomes harmful or divisive. We can take a moment and ask ourselves, “Are my words coming from a wholesome intention?”

“Are my words aimed at tearing someone down?” “Are my words true?” Ideally, engaging in Right Speech leads to connection.

Right Action

Right Action is more than simply holding the intention to do no harm to ourselves and others; it means ensuring that our physical actions do not inflict harm on any sentient beings. Practicing Right

Action means avoiding killing, injuring, stealing, and sexual misconduct.

Right Livelihood

Right Livelihood can hold two meanings, depending on the context.

For monastics, Right Livelihood means to live from the donations of others and never take more than one needs. For laypeople, it means to avoid any livelihood that causes suffering to others by cheating, harming, or killing them.

Whether we are business owners or employees, we can ensure we follow ethically sound methods of making a living. If we are unemployed, we can ask ourselves if our means of survival are ethical and if we are causing harm to anyone else in our quest to meet our basic needs.

Right Effort

Right Effort means diligently cultivating good qualities and abandoning non-virtuous thoughts and actions. The Buddha taught that if you want to be happy, certain behaviors will help you attain that happiness and others will prevent it. In Buddhism, virtue is anything that causes happiness, and non-virtue is anything that causes suffering. The primary means for developing Right Effort is to contemplate impermanence. We must recognize that we can’t delay our endeavors since there is no guarantee that we will be here tomorrow. We must have enthusiasm for the path by contemplating the benefits of liberation and the faults of samsara.

The Noble Eightfold Path Buddhism

Right Mindfulness

Right Mindfulness means to remain mindful of the body, feelings, consciousness, and mental phenomena, while abandoning attachment and aversion. Simply put, be aware of what you are doing. As easy as this seems, when was the last time you took a walk or drive and completely lost track of where you were? It’s easy to lose track of what we are doing. To practice Right Mindfulness, we can ask ourselves, “How am I existing in this moment?” or even,

“How is the world around me existing in this moment?”

To answer these questions, we must examine our body, mind, feelings, and surroundings. We can do so at the beginning and end of each day and even from moment to moment. This awareness leads us to respond to the true reality of situations rather than reverting to our instinctive reactions.

How can we apply the principles of the Eightfold Path to our lives?

Whatever the topic of our Dharma study, the most important takeaway is to apply it to our minds. It is crucial to develop a definitive understanding while acknowledging that intellectual understanding alone cannot transform our minds or experiences.

For example, we know that we should avoid lying and that lying leads to paranoia, distrust, and so on. However, if we keep lying despite this knowledge and make no effort to prevent it, we will continue to experience paranoia and sow the seeds of distrust.

Similarly, we know that avoiding distractions is essential to developing Meditative Concentration. But, as long as we continue to engage in meaningless activities like social media overuse and pursuing an unchecked desire for wealth and fame, we cannot progress in our meditation practice.

These guiding principles help us make choices that will lead us away from suffering and towards enlightenment as we move through our daily lives.

These are Zone of Possible Agreement (ZOPA), Best Alternative to a Negotiated Agreement (BATNA) and Win-Win. In this blog post, we briefly explain these terms and their relevance to project management and the APM PMQ exam.

When it comes to , negotiation is a core that everyone needs to master.

Research from World Commerce and Contracting (WorldCC), formerly International Association for and Management (IACCM), shows that on average poor negotiation and contract management account for over 9% of all project value leakage.

As projects become more and more complex and stakeholder groups become increasingly more diverse, structured negotiation approaches such as ZOPA and BATNA are increasingly becoming an essential that project managers need to be considering.

Where do these terms come from?

These three terms come from the seminal book on negotiations Fisher, Roger, and William Ury.

Getting to : Negotiating Agreement Without Giving In, 3rd ed.

Summary of “Getting to Yes: Negotiating Agreement Without Giving In” Beyond Intractability. Still, I strongly recommend reading the full text; it’s a concise but informative book.

Since it was first published in 1981, “Getting to Yes” has sold over 15 million copies worldwide and has been translated into 35 different languages. It is widely regarded as the foundation of modern negotiation theory.

It is used extensively in business schools, law programmes, and also on leadership training programs worldwide.

The Negotiation Project, which the authors, Fisher and Ury, helped to establish, still continues to both negotiation research and practice today.

The book’s main theme is about understanding what each party wants from the negotiation and then negotiating around the , not the people and emotion. In summary, they discuss:

Separate the people from the problem.

Focus on interests, not positions.

Learn to manage emotions.

Express appreciation.

Put a positive spin on your message.

Escape the cycle of action and reaction.

These principles are particularly relevant when it comes to those project environments where relationships play an important role.

According to PMI’s Pulse of the Profession report, 40% of all project failures can be linked to poor stakeholder engagement. If you want to help maintain trust, reduce conflict, and also help to create alignment then effective negotiation is essential because all of these elements are absolutely essential for project success.

(Best Alternative to a Negotiated Agreement) and (Zone of Possible Agreement) are fundamental concepts in negotiation, often used together to determine if a deal is possible and, if so, at what or terms.

Your " B"—the best course of action you will take if the current negotiation fails and no agreement is reached.

Purpose:

It acts as a to evaluate any offer, ensuring you do not accept a deal worse than what you could get elsewhere.

:

A strong BATNA increases your bargaining power, as you are not desperate for a deal.

Example:

If you are negotiating a PM role package, your BATNA might be a standing leading role offer from a different Corporation.

The range or "sweet spot" where the highest price a buyer is willing to pay overlaps with the lowest price a seller is willing to accept.

Purpose: It is the area where a mutually beneficial"win-win" agreement is possible.

Existence: If the buyer's maximum price is lower than the seller's minimum price, there is no ZOPA, and a deal is unlikely.

ZOPA is where negotiating parties find common ground to a .

A ZOPA exists only if there's between each party's for an .

Relationship Between BATNA and ZOPA

BATNA sets the Reservation Point: Your BATNA dictates your "walk-away" point (reservation price).

Determining ZOPA: ZOPA exists between the two parties' respective walk-away points (Reservation Points).

If BATNA improves: If you get a better alternative, your reservation point rises, which can shrink the ZOPA.

If BATNA weakens: If your alternative options disappear, your reservation point drops, which can expand the ZOPA

Without a ZOPA, negotiations fall into a negative bargaining , where no deal can be reached.

Understanding each party's needs and is crucial to finding a ZOPA.

Negative bargaining zones can be resolved if parties adjust their deals to account for mutual .

How to Identify a Zone of Agreement in Negotiations

Outside the ZOPA, no amount of negotiation will lead to an agreement.

To reach an agreement, negotiators must each other's needs, , and interests.

Overcoming in Negative Bargaining Zones

When negotiating parties cannot reach a ZOPA, they are in a negative bargaining zone. A deal cannot be reached in a negative bargaining zone, as the needs and desires of all parties cannot be met by a deal made under such .

However, negative bargaining zones can be if negotiating parties are to about one another’s desires and needs.

The Bottom Line

A ZOPA is the area in negotiations where common ground may be found between parties and agreements can be reached.

Importantly, ZOPA requires overlap in peoples' expectations, , and ideas.

It cannot exist without some aspect of these, and could result in a negative bargaining zone if this overlap .

It's that all parties make the effort to understand each other's needs and interests.

By doing so, the odds of establishing a ZOPA and negative bargaining zones are good.

Identify Your (Best Alternative to a Negotiated Agreement):

Before negotiating, determine your -away point, which defines the boundaries of your ZOPA.

Estimate the Counterpart’s BATNA:

Research the other party's needs, , and to understand their point.

the Bargaining Range:

Plot the overlap between your minimum/maximum acceptable terms and theirs to the ZOPA.

Strategic and

Active :

Pay close attention to the other party's words, , and body FIVE to uncover their interests rather than just their positions.

:

Use open-ended questions to gather information, such as

"What is most to you in this deal?"

or " did you arrive at that price?".

: Establish a positive relationship to the necessary for information about reservation points.

Positioning

: Set the initial reference point (the "anchor") to influence the perception of value and the boundaries of the ZOPA.

Framing:

Present your in a way that highlights its to the other party, making your position more .

Making Strategically:

Move toward the center of the ZOPA slowly to protect your margin and ensure the final agreement is close to your rather than just your walk-away point.

Creating or Expanding the ZOPA

Bundle Value (Adding Variables):

If the ZOPA is too small or nonexistent (a "negative bargaining zone"), add more items to the negotiation, such as payment , , or .

on Interests, Not Positions:

Shift the discussion from "I want X price" to " problems are we trying to solve?" to new .

Collaborative Solving: Work together to discover new facts or options that allow for a mutually beneficial outcome, changing a "win-lose" situation to "win-win"

Key

Preparation: Know your BATNA before entering a negotiation to avoid a bad deal.

Discovery: Investigate the other party's BATNA to understand their limitations and find the ZOPA.

Outcome: If the ZOPA is positive, a deal can be reached; if it is negative (no overlap), you should walk away.
