適可而止 ***

有些人以苦為樂
有些人自得其樂
還有人樂不思蜀
有些人樂極生悲
快樂本是個喜事
可惜是樂極忘形
喜事可變為悲事
凡事要適可而止

Do everything in moderation ***

Some people can live happily through difficult times while others always look for happiness. Some people enjoy the present so much and forget where they came from, while others overly enjoy the present and end up changing a happy event into one that is sad. Happiness is, in fact, a joyful event. Unfortunately people can turn a happy event into an unfortunate event. Therefore remember always do everything in moderation.

物極必反 ***

常言道物極必反
一切要適可而止
一頓飯吃多不好
吃得太少也不好
最好是適可而止
做事也都是一樣
做過量未必是好
有可能會有危害

Extremes cause reverse effect ***

There is a common saying that if you go to the extremes; you may end up with the reverse effect. You should know when to stop. It is like eating a meal. You should not stuff yourself with too much food. Nor should you eat much less than what your body needs. You should only eat the right amount. Working habits are in the same category. Over-work may not necessarily be good. It may cause some hidden danger work-wise or health-wise.
