First Rules, by Roshanna Sidney Evans

"Just focus on what's upstairs, okay, up here where your brain is and forget the rest."
"But what about my heart?"
"It takes care of itself."
"But it pump blood everywhere inside me!"
"So what?"
"So I need it, don't I?"
"You don't get a job with your heart; you get one with your mind."
"But I can't live without my heart"
"Oh, yes you can, if you have a fine mind."
"But I like the way I am."
"You do want the world at your fingertips, don't you?"
"I guess."
"Then focus. Up here. Your mind. Key to kingdom."
