《淮南子·诠言训》
同样，善于赛马的人，不贪求跑在最前边，他也不害怕单独落在最后，只是通过双手调节快慢，驾御者的意图和马匹协调，虽然不一定跑在最前面，但马匹的能量被最大限度地调动起来了。
驰者不贪最先，不恐独后，缓急调乎手，御心调乎马，虽不能必先载，马力必尽矣。
Similarly, a good horse racing man does not try to run in the front, nor is he afraid of being left behind, but by adjusting his speed with both hands, the rider's intentions and the horse's coordination, although not necessarily running in the front, but the horse's energy is maximized.
