“Hara hachi bu me” (eat until you are only 80% full)
~ Confucius
Several years ago I coached a very successful businessman (I’ll call him Robert) who shared a deeply telling comment from his wife.
“Just how much is enough, Robert?”
He had a great life, a fat bank account, a devoted family, extensive social circle, community respect, good health, and … never quite enough business. A classic American striver.
