Document Summary

Letting things take the natural course and doing nothing that interferes with that natural course. Each persons way differs from another person and each person has to find their own way. Western culture: capitalist: competition, we work hard to succeed in the future, looking for fast money, fast success. Chinese culture: the least you can do to succeed in your life: perfection is non existent, live in the moment to succeed because it is what you are interested at that time. Inaction do as little as you can in the process of a long time. Don"t do more, just stay in your comfort zone. Example of the shadow: try running away from his shadow and died, all he had to do was go into sunlight. Salmon swims against the way of the water: stay in the current of the water and things come to you.
