Act without acting on.
Work without working at.
Enter bountifulness when it is still insufficiency.
Answer with kindness whn 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 state
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.
