Literally, 'nie pal swiecy z obu stron', czyli nie spalaj sie za szybko, z
umiare zuzywaj swoje energie. Often used to describe people who follow the
principle of 'working hard and playing hard', as they shorten their creative
years by 'burning their candle at both ends'.

Dziekuje z calego serca.

To burn the candle...: to use up a lot of one's daily energy by being busy very
late and very early, thus damaging one's health.
