Gate 34, Line 6 — Common sense

Full breakdown

Knowing when it's enough — that's real common sense. Continuing past that point destroys what you've built. You know how to see that point and stop.

That ability is rare. Most people stop only once their strength runs out. You know how to stop earlier — out of understanding, not exhaustion. That's what makes you effective over the long run.

Common sense isn't giving up your strength. It's the intelligent use of it. Knowing when to press the gas and when to hit the brake — that's the mastery of managing the enormous resource you carry.
