Verse 63: The Secrets of Getting Things Done

Doing things without actually doing things.

Working without actually working.

When it is not enough come in with extra

And when you experience bitterness respond with kindness and being nice.

Start problems when they are easy to solve

As they will continue to grow from small to big problems

Start a big task when it is developing

As they go from simple to complex very fast.

However, be careful of those that say they have a fast and easy answer

As this should be seen as a challenge that you can conquer.

This is how you do big tasks without having to struggle

 2

Or feel that something is hard.

Verse 64: Timing

We can hold things when they are stable and we can form things that haven’t been formed yet.

We can break things that are still fragile and scatter things that are small and light.

This shows that we must do things now before it's too late and we just can’t.

If we start things on time, we can grow and accomplish great things but if not we will fail.

Trees start as a small seedling; towers start with a small stub in the earth; a journey starts when

we take the step.

When we stop the flow of a process we get disrupted and when we hold onto things to much

we start to lose them.

Smart people are able to succeed because they don’t force anything. They keep with the flow

and continue on.

They never lose because they are able to let go and move on.

Smart people don’t keep things for themselves

but instead they flow with nature

And keep with the rhythm of the Great integrity

Verse 68: The Ethics of War

 3

Fighting without vengeance, ange, or hate is how you get the best soldier.

A soldier who fights without emotion and only with logic is THE soldier.

The soldiers show loyalty by putting themselves below others.

Putting others above themselves humbly.

This is part of the Great Integrity;

This is working together and not fighting purposefully.

Verse 74: Ruling by Fear

When people live in constant misery and hopelessness,

They do not have any fear of dying.

The things that kill these people are not a threat to these fighters

Who causes trouble. The thing that kills them might be killed by these people.

Those that don’t push back against death at first, fear death.

But how many people need to die for those that fear death to become fearless.

Then these people might also kill the things that kill them.

By the time this happens, those left who kill others might kill themselves.

But those that do things by themselves with no professional help, tend to hurt themselves.
