we must take care to chew only what we can swallow



life seems to be very generous.. at least apparently..
Life gives a lot of opportunities for action.. the action may be good or bad..
But there are physical limitations..
An individual can engage himself beneficially only in a limited number of actions..
He has to use his discretion..
A worthless action is sheer waste.
Life gives a lot of opportunities to read and write..
Books are many..
Reading material is available in plenty..
We can write as much as we desire..
But we have to understand that there are limitations for our mind, eyes and ears..
We cannot read everything..
Diligence in choice is the watchword..
We cannot memorize dictionaries and encyclopaedias just to increase our knowledge..
And in using words, and even in using the mind for thinking, our opportunities are infinite..
But if we do not use moderation, we may reach nowhere.. perhaps except a lunatic asylum
Opportunities are in plenty..
But we must take care to chew only what we can swallow..
