Above all things, order, and distribution, and singling out of parts, is the life of dispatch; so as the distribution be not too subtle: for he that doth not divide, will never enter well into business; and he that divideth too much, will never come out of it clearly.
最重要的是,安排次序、分配任务、拆分环节,乃高效办事的命脉,但不可分得过细:不作划分,便难以妥善着手;划分太多,又难以清楚收尾。
