Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
The speaker urges the listener to stop straining and calculating an attack and simply strike. Paradoxically it asks for real action instead of hesitant attempts, contrasting effortful trying with committed doing. The tone is challenging and instructive, pushing the addressee past self-doubt.
