There's an old folk song....

.....which got a lot of air time in the 1960s. Children loved it. It went something like this - 

There's a hole in my bucket, dear Liza, dear Liza...', Henry complains. 

Liza tells him to fix it. 

Henry asks 'How?' 

Liza says 'Use straw'. 

Henry says 'The straw needs cutting. 

Liza says 'Use an axe' 

Henry says 'The axe is blunt' 

Liza says 'Sharpen it.' 

Henry says 'But the stone is dry' 

Liza says 'Wet it.' 

Henry says, 'How will I get the water?' 

Liza says 'In a bucket.'

Henry says... 'But there's a hole in my bucket.' 

But you are not Henry. or Liza - or at least, not this Liza or Henry; and you don't have to go round in a circle

Life is a coin.  You can spend it any way you wish, but you can only spend it once.
