Is moderation in all things one of the main keys to a successful life?

I hope you have a nice day and a Happy New Year, and thanks for answering my question.

1. Moderation probably is the key, but I think sometimes some full-out passion is a good thing.
2. Yes, I believe it is. Excess in anything seldom ends well.
3. one of the main keys yes. some thinkers also advice to be sometimes careful of moderation itself.
4. If you read the current Malcolm Gladwell book, Outliers, you might conclude that obsession is the key to success- at least in the career sense. He believes that it takes 10,000 hours for us to master any subject. That`s a lot of hours but its supposedly the key to the early success of Bill Gates and any one else who becomes a major player in one demanding field. Moderation and passion do not go together- and we could all use more passion in our lives.
5. Yes, moderation is one of the highest of unsung virtues. Extremes always get us into trouble and unhappiness. Whether in finance or love moderation wins the day. mek
6. Jesus thought otherwise, and so do I. 15I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. 16So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
7. Wish you too a very Happy New Year!! I think moderation in all things is a key to a happy or contented life. Success is more demanding than what moderation can deliver, especially in the present highly competitive environment.
