Christ-as always, the model-never sat back, crossed his arms, and dismissed the annoying, the troublesome, or the unpromising.

We don't waste our time with people who don't want what we have to offer. But if they do, one form of martyrdom is to give a listening ear or an understanding smile to all comers.
