- Patience and taking care of yourself -
Whatever the matter would be, if you have pleasant sensation doing something, that sensation could cause the trouble later. It is like having alcohol as you wish to taste the pleasant sensation and feel good momentarily, but it would bring you serious illness later. If you have patience you'd feel good later. It could be tough to consume energy or eat just the right amount to keep you going, but it would make you possible to stay in health and enjoy longer life span. A Chines poet once said that there is the pleasure over the endeavor. What this phrase means is that you would have pleasure after controlling your desire a while.
