Poem
Don't assume that because you can't do it, others can't do it; There are lots of better minds in this world than you are. Better set your mind to achieve what others have And make their feats the light that rouse your flame. Unless you were paid to do what you are doing, Pulling people down is just a waste of time. Don't judge people that you do not know; And "don't criticize what you can't understand". Pessimism is not a good attitude, Be optimistic always. It is better to push other up than to pull them down, So you may have someone to pull you up when you need pulling. Don't assume that you're right when what you know is just a bit of the whole; And when you don't know what's in the other side of the coin. Believe in yourself, and that there are others who can do what you can't do and not necessarily that they are known geniuses, For every person has his own sphere of prowess. When you are paid to say a line in script, you must practice your line well, so it's not obvious that it's scripted for people who have common sense. Find better job that you don't need to be pulling others down or cursing them, especially people that you don't really know. Don't spit in the wind when the direction is towards you; You'll be spitting on your own face. Lastly, love yourself and build your own success, so you don't need to hate people always for their achievements; Have common sense and use your own brain, you don't need to be just following what people tell you or pay you to do; Make yourself capable in the sense that you'll be the one dictating what others should do; Be kind to yourself, you don't need to believe always what others tell you, especially when you don't know well the person. "Ang naniniwala sa sabi-sabi, walang bait sa sarili", -old Filipino saying. Gamitin mo ang iyong sentido komon at hypothalamus, meron ka non. Ulit, huwag maging batugan, humanap ng malinis na trabaho na di mo kailangang manira ng tao, lalo na kung ipapakain mo sa pamilya mo. *The quoted phrase in last line of second stanza was borrowed from Bob Dylan's 'Times They Are Changing' December 25, 2023, 1:43 AM, PST, SPC, NE
