Fill your bowl to the brim and it will spill.
Keep sharpening your knife and it will be blunt.
*
Chase after money and security and your heart will never unclench.
Care about people's approval and you will be their prisoner.
*
Do your work, then step back.
The only path to serenity.
*
Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching.

Can't believe I've found these words again in a Business Ethic book.
I first stumble upon it in Uncle Lam's house zillion years ago and have been loving it ever since. Lao Tzu's teachings are very peaceful and have a very soft approach towards living a life. If only I can adapt the teachings in my own life... but how can I when I'm a money chaser? *guffaw*
