Do nothing which is of no use.

I just finished Steven Barnes' Charisma. The Book of Five Rings plays an important role, and the whole book is available on-line and is well worth reading.

Do not think dishonestly.
The Way is in training.
Become aquainted with every art.
Know the Ways of all professions.
Distinguish between gain and loss in worldly matters.
Develop intuitive judgement and understanding for everything.
Perceive those things which cannot be seen.
Pay attention even to trifles.
Do nothing which is of no use.
