About This Quote
If you pour more water into a river, it will not drown the fish. In the same way, if you pour more effort into your life, it will not make you a better person. You can pretend that you have a lot of energy and that it is easy to be successful, but in reality you have a lot of bad habits and insecurities. When you put more in, you get less out. If you just put a little bit in, however, then out comes a whole lot.
