The concept has been abbreviated. Bootstraps are ingenious little things that make putting on your boots a lot easier. Putting your boots on is, or can be for some, your first challenge (especially if your boots are not broken in from use), be smart use your bootstraps, go to work, don't look back, don't sweat the small stuff, smile/laugh enjoy life.
