quote

I agree with this quote. This quote basically means that if the light is really bright it will most likely go out out sooner than if it were to perserve light. It is like running 5 miles, if you sprint the first mile then on the other miles you will be way more tired because you did not pace yourself. I like this quote because a lot of people can compare it to real- life experiences.
