You don't always get what you ask for, but you never get what you don't ask for... unless it's contagious!

Summary

This quote conveys the idea that in life, we cannot always expect to obtain what we want simply by verbalizing our desires. However, we can be certain that we will never attain something if we do not actively express our wishes or make our intentions known. The exception to this principle is when what we do not ask for may be acquired inadvertently through the influence of others or due to external circumstances beyond our control. In such cases, what we don't request could become contagious and affect us regardless.
