人生有很多种活法，但好的人生，一定需要适度。

There are many ways to live in life, but a good life must be moderate.

古代有一种“欹器”，呈梭形，不能竖立，中间部分有两耳，以绳穿之，悬于两杆之间。

In ancient times, there was a type of "qi qi" that was shuttle shaped and could not stand upright. The middle part had two ears, which were threaded with ropes and hung between two poles.

当里面空着的时候，因重力作用，器皿是斜的；水至六分时，竖直而立；水逾七分，则发生倾覆。

When it is empty inside, the container is tilted due to gravity; When the water reaches six minutes, stand upright; If the water exceeds seven parts, it will cause overturning.

正所谓，“虚则欹、中则正、满则覆”。

As the saying goes, "emptiness leads to qi, middle leads to righteousness, and fullness leads to repetition.".

孔子曾于鲁桓公之庙见过欹器，告诫弟子“满招损，谦受益，戒盈持满”。

Confucius once saw a cudgel at the temple of Duke Huan of Lu, warning his disciples to "be full of losses, humble in benefiting, and keep full of gains.".

万事皆有度，过则为灾。

Everything has its limits, but mistakes are disasters.

花未全开，月未全圆，才是人生最好的状态。

The best state of life is when flowers are not fully blooming and the moon is not fully round.

福不可享尽，让三分给他人；利不可占尽，留三分给他人；功不可贪尽，分三分给他人。

Blessings cannot be fully enjoyed, let three be given to others; The benefits cannot be fully utilized, leaving three points for others; Don't be greedy for all your achievements, divide them into three parts and give them to others.

知分寸，知进退，才能张弛有度，游刃有余。

Knowing the right balance and moving forward and backward is the key to relaxation and ease.
