Read these lines while surfing the net and loved them instantly :
My candle burns at both ends ..
It may not last the night !
But ah my foes and oh my friends....
It gives me a lovely light !!
My Interpretation :
Candle burning at both ends signifies an effort to achieve something even at the cost of personal discomfort ,just like a sportsman(say runner) who toils endlessly in gym doing some exercise just to gain that extra life changing "second".
His effort may not the "last the night" or turn out to be "fruitful",BUT...
Ah my friends the result does not count as long as you love the effort ...the effort gives you a LOVELY light !!!
