いつも気楽に天命を全うするほうが良い it is always better to easily fulfill your destiny.
いくらお金持ちでも、贅沢をすればお金が足りなくなる
それならば、お金持ちでなくても、慎ましくてお金が余るほうが良い
いくら才能に溢れていても、誤った野望をもてば人から恨みを買う
それならば、才能がなくても、いつでも気楽に天命を全うするほうが良い
菜根譚前編第55番
No matter how rich you are, if you go for luxury, you will run out of money
Then, even if you are not rich, you should be modest and have extra money
No matter how talented you are, if you have the wrong ambitions, you will buy a grudge from others.
In that case, even if you are not talented, it is always better to easily fulfill your destiny.
