Chapter 64
Wen Tings Set, Dem Kaahn Move
Original
合抱之木，生于毫末；九层之台，起于累土；千里之行，始于足下。
为者败之，执者失之。是以圣人无为故无败，无执故无失。
民之从事，常于几成而败之。慎终如始，则无败事。
是以圣人欲不欲，不贵难得之货；学不学，复众人之所过。以辅万物之自然而不敢为。
Translieshan
Act before tings even start, put tings in order before di chaos come. A nine-story tower start fram one small seed. Nine layers a platform start fram one basket a sand. One tousand mile journey start fram one step.
Whoeva force tings goin mek dem draw back, whoeva grab goin lose dem. So di sage no force, an him neva fail; him no grab, an him neva lose.
P PL dem wa wok, dem always fail right close ta success. But if ya hab di same carefulness fram di beginn a come, ya neva go fail no way.
So di sage want wa no one else want, him no cherish wa hard fi get. Him liern wa no one else liern, him turn back fram wa dem oda people dem do wrong. Him help evryting fi go deh own way, but him no force dem.

How it relate to me?
Mi see how mi always wait til tings bwile op an den panic try fi fix dem. But dis chapter show mi seh if mi act smad while tings stil quiet, mi kyan avoid di whole drama. A like mi life - if mi set things in place early, no drama come later. An di res weh mi learn seh when mi stop trying fi control evryting, tings actually go better.
Wah mi fi do todeh?
Todai mi a go identify wan situation weh mi normally wait til i get outa hand. Instead, mi a go act now while tings still smad. Mi a go tek wan small step toward wan goal weh mi been neglectn, start fram di veri beginn like mi neva start before. An mi a go hold onta carefulness all de way til di end.
