Know Yourself

Knowledge is a gift

Never waste it.

Outstanding people can pass

Whatever challenges they have.

 

You may keep it

Or you may share it. But

Understand that you have to use it.

Respect is what you get and

Self confidence grows.

Excellence is what people see in you.

Live a life full of knowledge

For it will help you in your life.

Very wise advice you offer here. The only change I would suggest here is in the 4th line, change "has" to "have", but the overall effect of the read is great as it impacts the reader with further understanding of knowledge. ~ Michael
