One drop at a time fills up a jar

Together, each tiny drop of water can fill up a big jar. Likewise, each act of good deed will fill up your "jar" of virtue. But with no good deed done at all, your "jar" of virtue is empty. Never be lazy or preoccupied with what others are doing. In the end, your fate will be determined by no one else but yourself. So fight as hard as you can. The more merit you make, the more you gain; and the less you make, the less you receive. Take every new day as a new opportunity to make merit.
