One of Father Pishoys spiritual children use to fast until 3pm everyday in the fast without food or water and one day he came to Father Pishoy and said, "I want to fast until 5pm". So Father Pishoy said, "No, keep it as it is". However this person became insistent and Father Pishoy sensing there was vain glory behind this fasting, said, "Tell you what, fast till 10am only." This surprised the person and he felt that fasting until 10am was not really a fast. Seeing that the person was disappointed Father Pishoy said to him, "or how about you dont fast at all?" This person fell silent and obeyed, fasting until 10am as ordered by his spiritual father.
Father Pishoy placed in the life of this person that the fast is for Our Lord Jesus Christ alone. It is not to set personal records or for personal glory from people.
