A Malay proverb, "buat baik berpada-pada".  My late father always said that to me . I thought "buat baik berpada-pada" is like doing good things. But why "berpada-pada?"

We must have a limit. For example, if you want to give people some money or you want to help people - that's good. It's  very good but make sure you save some for yourself. And it's not only money, may be your time or energy.

You want to be good - go ahead but don't spend all. Save some ok. Take care.
