Baton Race

The day of the big race had finally come. This was a team race in which everyone on the team played an important role. The first runner would sprint down the track to the next runner. Once the first runner reached the next team member, they would then pass the baton to the next runner. This process continued until all four runners had worked together successfully, passing the baton to the following team member. The blue team took off — running as fast they could. But unfortunately, the second runner dropped the baton, which meant he had to stop and pick it back up before continuing to run. Despite losing time, the third and forth runners for the blue team amazingly not only regained the lost time, but actually finished ahead of the other teams. The crowd cheered wildly, as they had never seen such a remarkable recovery.

Lao Zi

Philosophy believed in: As Taoism took root, Laozi was worshipped as a god. Belief in the revelation of the Tao from the divine Laozi resulted in the formation of the Way of the Celestial Masters, the first organized religious Taoist sect. In later mature Taoist tradition, Laozi came to be seen as a personification of the Tao.


Quote: To the mind that is still, the whole universe surrenders.


Shang Yang

Entering into the service of Duke Xiao, head of the state of Qin, Shang Yang replaced the feudal division of the country with a system of centrally appointed governors.


Quote: When the people are weak, the state is strong; hence the state that possesses the Way devotes itself to weakening the people.

On the beach near my school, we built a gigantic sand castle.

Our school received a special award from the governor because we had perfect attendance.
Some of the kids in my neighborhood wanted to work on community service projects.

I was climbing up a mountain-path

With many things to do,

Important business of my own,

And other people's too,

When I ran against a Prejudice

That quite cut off the view.

My work was such as could not wait,

My path quite clearly showed,

My strength and time were limited,

I carried quite a load;

And there that hulking Prejudice

Sat all across the road.

So I spoke to him politely,

For he was huge and high,

And begged that he would move a bit

And let me travel by.

He smiled, but as for moving! —

He didn't even try.

And then I reasoned quietly

With that colossal
mule:

My time was short — no other path —

The mountain winds were cool.

I argued like a Solomon;

He sat there like a fool.

Then I flew into a passion,

and I danced and howled and swore.

I pelted and belabored him

Till I was stiff and sore;

He got as mad as I did —

But he sat there as before.

And then I begged him on my knees;

I might be kneeling still

If so I hoped to move that mass

Of obdurate
ill-will —

As well invite the monument

To vacate Bunker Hill!

So I sat before him helpless,

In an ecstasy
of woe —

The mountain mists were rising fast,

The sun was sinking slow —

When a sudden inspiration came,

As sudden winds do blow.

I took my hat, I took my stick,

My load I settled fair,

I approached that awful incubus

With an absent-minded air —

And I walked directly through him,

As if he wasn't there!
