物极则反，器满则倾
物极则反，器满则倾 is a chinese proverb. I like this proverb because it
represents the very nature of the universe and our daily life.
The translation of this proverb is thing will be developed to the opposite
side when it exceed its limit.
The most simple and obvious example is we have to eat balanced diet.
If we eat too much food, we will become fat(obesity); if we refuse to
eat food, we will become weak and thin(anorexia nervosa).
The second example is we have to maintain an optimal amount of sleep
everyday(8 hours per day for teenagers and 7 hours per day for adults).
If we exceed the time we sleep, it will affect our circadian rhythms;
If we don't get enough rest or sleep, it will cause mental, emotional and
physical fatigue.
Therefore, we have to keep everything in balance in order to live healthier
and happier.
