Construction Tips

Construction Tips It doesn't matter how fine your house. Or what kind of trips you took. What car you drive or how much cash; The Bank records in your books. How famous you are will soon pass away; And you will be yesterday's news. Your beauty will fade, and you hair fall out; But what of the choices you choose? There are things that we do that last longer than death. That don't crumble and don't fade in time. There are decisions we make that are not for ourselves. There are mountains that we need to climb. Light up the way for those in the dark. Strengthen the weak and forlorn. This is the reason you walk among men; The reason for which you were born. Invest in the lives of the people you love. For generations yet far to come. Live such a life that they'll follow your path, And of your harvest they'll reap the sum. Build for you must, it's the way of all men; But hold to these principles fast. Build the things that matter the most. Build the things that will last.
