Give your time and efforts freely or not at all.
When you are tempted to say,
"Oh, if I have to, I'll skip my golf game
and watch my daughter play soccer," don't do it.

to make the free-will gift,
"I'd love to watch your game today, Sandy,"
or the honesty to decline the request gracefully.

for any of the parties involved.
An honest, "No" is preferable to a coerced "Yes."
