Big things in the world must be done in detail, and difficult things in the world must be done in easy ways. How do you understand?

The big things in the world must be done in detail, and the difficult things in the world must be done in easy ways. This can be understood as: being a person and doing things must be able to be done step by step and not be eager for quick success.

From Chapter 63 of the Tao Te Ching, the original text is: To do nothing, to do nothing, to taste nothing. What size. The picture is more difficult than the easy, and the details are greater than the details; the difficult things in the world must be done in the easy, and the great things in the world must be done in the details. Therefore, the saint is not great in the end, so he can become great.

Interpretation: Act with an attitude of inaction, do things in a non-disturbing way, and treat indifference as taste. The big is born from the small, and the more is born from the less. To deal with difficulties, we must start with the easy ones, and to achieve lofty goals, we must start with the subtle ones; the difficult things in the world must start with the easy ones; the great things in the world must start with the subtle ones. Therefore, a righteous person never thinks he is great, so he can achieve great things.

Today’s broad understanding

If you want to accomplish big things, you must start from the details; if you want to accomplish difficult things, you must also start from the easy ones.

There is a popular saying now: "Relationships are not just words. Whether a person is reliable or not depends not on what he says, but on what he does. If you don't make a promise lightly, you will definitely keep it." ". As the old saying goes, "A gentleman's words are hard to catch up with." Therefore, if you take things too easy, you will definitely encounter more difficulties.
