On "Doing Nothing" and "Doing Nothing" in Tao Te Ching
Chapter 48 of the Tao Te Ching: "Learning to be excellent is to be an official, and Tao is bad. Loss and loss, so that inaction is everything. Taking the world is often absent, and taking the world is insufficient. "

Studying knowledge (meaning knowledge such as benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faith), lust is increasing day by day; When we learn the Tao, our lust decreases day by day, then decreases again, and finally reaches the realm of inaction. Serenity can do whatever it wants. Governing the world always depends on quietism, and mediocrity can't govern the world well.

"Quiet" means restraining external desires, calming down and conforming to nature. "Doing nothing without doing anything": Doing nothing without doing anything. The "inaction" here is "no violation", that is, not doing activities that go against nature, not going against the nature of things, conforming to nature, and everything includes itself. "Inaction" In terms of personnel, a truly wise person will not be forced to do anything when he has seen complete failure. Even if you follow the inherent laws of things, you will be invincible and omnipotent.

The concept of "Tao" has two levels: the level of inaction and the level of promising.

That is to say, only on the basis of "doing nothing" (not violating) can we be "promising"!

For personnel, further understanding, in order to "do something", we should "do nothing" without violating personal conditions and doing things reluctantly.

That is, foster strengths and avoid weaknesses. If we can find everyone's bright spot, focus, focus, persistence, perseverance and extreme. Avoid the weakness of "inaction" (don't force yourself to do incompetent things), and you can "make a difference" and make a difference!
