A door is much smaller compared to the house. A lock is much smaller compared to the door. A key is the smallest of all, but a key can open entire house. Thus, a small thoughtful solution can solve major problems. If you don't open your someone else will decide your path.

Kill tension before tension kills you. Reach your goal before goal kicks you. Live life before life leaves you.
