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

- Lao-Tse

I really like this quote. It's one of the very few quotes that actually makes me feel peaceful but confident in my ability. Right now I'm thinking about it as it relates to me dealing with people.

Hope you can use it to your benefit.

A little wisdom goes a long way! Thanks for the inspiration.

To me, to sum it up, it pretty much says be happy with what you have.

It took me 40 years to realize how true this is.

I thought saying "it took 40 years to learn" was a dead giveaway: I ain't that smart.

Thanks, though.
