On discipline
It is better to leave a vessel unfilled, than to attempt to carry it when it is full. If you keep feeling a point that has been sharpened, the point cannot long preserve its sharpness.
Tao Te Ching · Chapter 9 9Sanskrit: public domain · English tr. James Legge (public domain)
What it means
Overfilling spills; overdoing undoes. Know when enough is enough.
Carry it today
Stop one thing today while it is still going well, instead of pushing to excess.
