将欲歙之
“To shrink something, first let it expand. To weaken something, first let it strengthen. To abolish something, first let it flourish. This is the subtle wisdom.”
将欲歙之，必固张之；将欲弱之，必固强之；将欲废之，必固兴之；将欲夺之，必固与之。是谓微明。柔弱胜刚强。鱼不可脱于渊，国之利器不可以示人。
Sometimes the best way to change a situation is to let it fully unfold. Resistance creates more resistance. Patience is a strategy — let things play out.
将欲歙之必固张之——欲收敛必先扩张（物极必反的原理）。
这是老子逆向思维的典型表达。
微明——微妙的智慧。
柔弱胜刚强——柔软胜过坚硬。
鱼不可脱于渊——如鱼不能离开水。
国之利器不可以示人——国家的利器不能轻易展示给人看。
