Good advice

Billy Joel has been my tape deck adviser this week. One of those moments when every line in a song seems to speak directly to me...

Vienna

Where's the fire? What's the hurry about?
You better cool it off Before you burn it out.
There's so much to do
But only so many hours in the day.
...
Slow down, you're doing fine.
You can't be everything you want to be before your time.
...
You got your passion, you got your pride
But don't you know that only fools are satisfied?
Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true.


Of course, then he goes on to tell all good catholic schoolgirls to give it up or die young. Ah well. These days I take good advise where I find it.
