Confront the Difficult While it is Still Easy

How can we accomplish great tasks?

Chinese characters for Tao Te ChingMy post today is short passage taken from the Tao Te Ching. It's a little something for our reflection as we face the tasks ahead of us today.

Confront the difficult
whille it is still easy;
accomplish the great task
by a series of small acts.
