Hotdogs in the Microwave

Have you ever experienced the dilemma of putting something in the microwave to defrost or whatnot only to have it completely destroyed because you felt it could use "one more minute" or "it hasn't been in there long enough."? I feel like life's like that, like were afraid to pull out prematurely, like we feel sometimes if we could only stay in kitchen, microwave, poker game a little bit longer we can end up a little bit further to the top. A little bit higher up the corporate or social ladder, but life's a gamble, and sometimes you leave your hotdogs in the microwave too long and they explode.
