Knowing when and how to
is half of getting to where
you want to.

It takes time to learn and you
have to burn a lot of candles
read, digest, scrape the wax off your vest,

I had the option of burning the midnight oil
but didn't want to spoil my good looks
by reading bad books and losing out on
my sleep.

Moral:
if you turn things down
make sure it's only the blankets.
