《道德經》第六十三章：「為無為，事無事，味無味。大小多少，報怨以德。」

Chapter 63 of Tao Te Ching states: “Act through non-action; serve through non-service; taste through non-taste.  Amplify where small and add where less; treat injustices in accordance with virtue.”  

 

在瞬息萬變的商業世界裡，決策不再是單選題。老子提醒我們「為無為」，這並非不作為，而是在行動之前，要先能分辨輕重緩急與因果關聯——這正是現代企業面對高度不確定性與競爭壓力下最需要的心法。

慎始與快跑，看似衝突，實為陰陽並濟。謹慎行事，是為不陷危局；小步快跑，是為乘勢而上。真正的智慧，是在不確定中靜觀其變，於多變中拿捏進退之道。

In the instantly ever-changing business world, policy-making is no longer a multiple-choice question.  Lao-tzu reminds us of “act through non-action,” which does not mean doing nothing, but means that before taking actions, it is necessary to first identify all the priorities and the correlations—this is exactly the most required mantra for the modern businesses when facing the pressure of high uncertainties and competition.  Initial caution and racing appear to be mutually conflicting, but are actually reciprocating yin-and-yang.  Acting cautiously is to prevent catastrophes; running fast in small steps is to take advantage of the upward trend.  True wisdom resides in patiently observing the trending amid uncertainties, and in how to best advance or retreat in the ever-changing situations.
