"为难时当易，做大事当小。"
Simplified meaning
When things are simple and manageable, it's a good time to prepare for more complicated tasks. Imagine studying for a big exam. If you start preparing early, when you have just a few pages to read each day, it's much easier than waiting until the last minute when you have a lot to cover all at once.
Similarly, tackle big goals by breaking them down into smaller steps. Think about building a house. You don’t build it all at once; you start with laying down the foundation, then walls, then the roof. By taking small, manageable steps, even a huge project becomes doable.
This advice helps make big challenges less overwhelming. By planning ahead and working bit by bit, you can handle difficulties more easily and achieve big things in a more controlled and less stressful way.
