I really like "Getting Right with Tao: A Contemporary Spin on the Tao Te Ching".

Here's the same verse, I think:

    The Masters do what needs doing
    and that's all they do.
    Do what you have to do
    without arrogance or pride.
    Get the job done
    and don't brag about it afterwards.
    Do what you have to do,
    not for your own benefit,
    but because it needs to be done.
    And don't do it the way
    you think it should be done,
    do it the way it needs to be done.
