Moderation

I still remember a quote from Readers Digest, probably a decade back "High expectations is key to success, Moderation is key to EVERYTHING' ... I always ponder about this and attempts to apply the truthness of it in daily life. Along the way of course I wonder why was 'Moderation' one of the first most important sayings of the Buddha .. It is so-so-so-so true.... In almost any dilemma I have encountered or others have asked me about, the answer lies in just one work 'moderation'.... Though, even myself, when faced with challenges and dilemmma in life, may not always think of 'moderation' as the answer, but as it turns out .. that is the key... if only we make use of it more often.
