Tao te Ching


The Secret of getting Things Done

Act without acting on.
Work without working at.

Enter bountifulness
When it is still insufficiency.
Answer with kindness
When faced with hostility.

Begin a difficult task in its easy stage
Because large problems
Grow from small ones.

Begin a large task in its formative stage
Because complex issues
Originate from simple ones.

But beware of those
Who promise quick and easy solutions!
Accept problems as challenges.

In this way,
The sage accomplishes great tasks
Without ever
Having to struggle with them.
