Wei Wu Wei

Do without doing.

Act without action.

Savor the flavorless.

Treat the small as large,

the few as many.

Meet injury

with the power of goodness.

Study the hard while it’s easy.

Do big things while they’re small.

The hardest jobs in the world start out easy,

the great affairs of the world start small.

Now, since taking things too lightly makes them worthless,

and taking things too easy makes them hard,

the wise soul,

by treating the easy as hard,

doesn’t find anything hard.

Solve it in the beginning,

while its small and easy,

by never dealing with great things,

gets great things done.
