Moderate Your Ambitions

Fill a cup too full,
It readily spills.
Sharpen a knife too fine,
It easily breaks.

The greater your fortune,
The more you have to lose.
The greater your pride,
The more painful your failures.

Succeed, then withdraw.
Act without need for reward.

That is the way of the pattern.
