If you think you are satisfied, you have failed. Blow your own horn will be boring. Metaphor means that things will decline at their peak.
From Zhouyi Feng: "The sun is bright and the moon is full of food." When the water is full, it will overflow, and when the moon is full, it will lose money. "When the water is full, it will overflow, and when the moon is full, it will lose money; Complacency will lose, and complacency will be silly. " This means that optimism is good, but being too optimistic means conceit, which may be counterproductive.
"When the moon is full, it will be lost, when the water is full, it will overflow, and when people are full, they will be arrogant." This is a metaphor for three natural phenomena and a wise saying left by our ancestors.
Most successful people leave room for speech, keep a sense of proportion and pay attention to distance when making friends. This is a philosophical thinking, and the key is to grasp a degree. Only people who are moderate, humble and open-minded can embrace all rivers, be eclectic, accumulate over time, and constantly move towards the ideal kingdom of the soul.

Historical allusion
Empress Dowager Cixi of the Qing Dynasty liked playing Go very much, but she was jealous that others had beaten her. Even Li, the eunuch in charge of personal affairs, pretended to be antagonistic and deliberately let Lafayette win during the competition to ensure that his head was around his neck. However, some young eunuchs who have just arrived do not understand this truth. They beat Cixi out of the water, angered Cixi, suffered punishment, and even lost their lives.
Once, a teenage eunuch was ordered to play chess with the Queen Mother. At first, the little eunuch was a little timid, but at the beginning, his mind was completely transferred to chess. He ate a big piece of the queen mother who was considering state affairs at once and applauded: "You are all finished!" " Cixi was furious and beheaded the little eunuch.
If the little eunuch knows that "the water is overflowing, and the monthly surplus is losing; Complacency leads to failure, and complacency leads to stupidity. "You won't lose your life in vain.
