"Wherever there is control, things will live and not harm." This is what Confucius said, which means that when doing things, you should have a certain degree of control, neither excessive nor insufficient, in order to achieve the best results. The ability to sense proportion is so painfully important at this moment. Everything has its limits. "Degree" is a unit of measurement and represents the basic rules that should be followed as a human being.

This principle also applies to all aspects of our daily lives. For example, when eating, don’t eat too much or too little; when it comes to work, don’t pursue perfection too much, and don’t make mistakes due to carelessness, etc.

Only by grasping a certain degree can we better control our lives and work and achieve better results.
