Today's Tao
No hurry. Don't say a word lightly. (Ch.17)
Let's decode this.
It means:
"Don't move until you are forced to."
You don't have to convince others.
Naoto Matsumoto adds:
感而後応
迫而後動
不得已而後起
（荘子 外篇 刻意 第十五）
Respond after you feel it.
Move after you are forced to.
Stand up after it is inevitable.
