Reading
Excessive concern with results distorts action; aim at the target, not at the score.
Context
Zhang used archery as a metaphor: aiming at the target is different from thinking "I must hit a ten," which distorts the shot. In work and life, excessive concern with results twists one's actions and complicates the task. His remedy is to attend to the present judgment and action rather than be bound by expectations.
Today's question
Which recent action of yours was distorted by the expectation that you "must" achieve a result?
