A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent upon arriving. A good artist lets his intuition lead him wherever it wants. A good scientist has freed himself of concepts and keeps his mind open to what is.

Thus the Master is available to all people and doesn't reject anyone. He is ready to use all situations and doesn't waste anything. This is called embodying the light.

What is a good man but a bad man's teacher? What is a bad man but a good man's job? If you don't understand this, you will get lost, however intelligent you are. It is the great secret.

So a good writer has no idea what to write and no deadline for when to finish?

A good writer has idea where he wants to guide the reader to; but his path is not fixed. For he can't show external struggle, and only show internal mastery of words. Storyteller is a guide of unknown worlds, and he can't be lazy, for his followers to lose their way and scatter off into the other roads. For storyteller truly embodying the Way isn't lost, as he's following the Dao, and he shows the Dao to the readers.

He who stands on tiptoe
doesn't stand firm.
He who rushes ahead
doesn't go far.
He who tries to shine
dims his own light.
He who defines himself
can't know who he really is.
He who has power over others
can't empower himself.
He who clings to his work
will create nothing that endures.

If you want to accord with the Tao,
just do your job, then let go.
