Excerpt from the original text
企者不立，Laozi · Dao De Jing · Instability from overreaching ↗The summary is editorial. Follow the source link to read the original text.
Modern interpretation
The example below adapts this chapter’s questions to modern work. Evaluate it against the actual purpose and conditions; ancient politics, warfare or ethics do not establish business results.
Business application
State the scope and conditions you can deliver instead of adding promises to make a proposal look larger.
- Choose one relevant case and record its objective, available resources, verified facts and unknowns.
- Compare options using this chapter’s perspective; choose a limited trial, owner, deadline and a measure to assess the result.
- Deliverable
- A comparison using instability from overreaching, with conditions for acting or declining.
Limits
The summary selects main points rather than translating every sentence. The example is not a demonstrated business method; check it against stakeholders’ conditions and actual evidence.
Question to test
How does this chapter’s perspective change the selected option or priority, and what further evidence could change the decision?
