"Buddha said building character is like making bread - you have to mix it little by little, step by step, and moderate temperature is needed. You know exactly what you need. If you get too excited you will forget how much temperature is good for you and you will lose your own way. This is very dangerous.
The good ox driver knows how much load the ox can carry, and he keeps the ox from being overloaded. You know your way and your state of mind. Do not carry too much!
Building character is like building a dam. If you try to do it all at once, water will leak from it. Make the bank carefully and you will end up with a fine dam for the reservoir." - Shunryu Suzuki
