An Old Man's Advice

My young friend,

Please, listen carefully to an old man's advice:

When in life for battle yourself prepare, 

With the number of enemies that face you, should

Never preoccupy 

For

It is the small number of dedicated friends that

Stand next to you that counts,

Because 

Each one of them equals one hundred of your 

Opponents 

Since love is what motivates their hearts

While

Hate is what propels the heart of your 

Opponents!
