　　慎终如始

作念事情彻心刺骨齐应足履实地，遥远如一。从主不雅方面，到手多取决于东说念主的严慎与坚握，失败则常常由于东说念主的懈怠和废弃。当事情行将完成，尤其是向好的看法发展的技术，东说念主们的形状最易顺心，因而出现任意，故须强调“慎”。“慎”源于“诚”，“诚”即是厚爱严慎地对待我方所担负的事情。

　　Be as Discreet at the End as at the Beginning

One should be discreet at the beginning and all the way through to finish. Generally speaking, discreetness and perseverance are the sure way to success, while negligence and laxity invariably lead to failure. When approaching a successful conclusion in an undertaking, people tend to lose drive and things may fall apart at the last minute. Therefore, we must act with discreetness, a concept that has its root in earnestness. Earnestness means handling things with great care.

　　引例

民之从事，常于几成而败之。慎终如始，则无败事。（《老子·六十四章》）（东说念主们作念事情，常在将近到手时遭到失败。截止时也像初始时相同严慎，事情就不会失败。）

Some people fail when they are close to success. So, as we come to the end, we must be as discreet as at the beginning, and this will ensure success. (Laozi)
