Letter To My Children

Think not that you were not born so rich; Your knowledge, you better try to enrich. Think not that your complexion is not fair; To compare it with others’ is rather unfair. Mind not the place where you were born; It is the one that you are bound to adorn. Think not the job that you do is very small; With smart workmanship, you make it tall. Envy not the possessions of your neighbour; Instead, acquire them with your hard labour. Learn to live your life well within your means; Try something new, ignoring the routines. Do not allow your tongue to slip even a bit; Safeguard your reputation using your wit. Boast not about your skills before others; The progress so far you made, it smothers. Love not anyone, not testing the credentials; Your future life is based on these essentials. Be careful about your fair-weather friends; Mind, to exploit you, everyone pretends. If you do not want to forego your pleasures, Against global warming you take measures. Back not anyone who does encourage a war; It takes centuries for the normalcy to restore. Play your part well in controlling epidemics By following the instructions of all academics. Develop the attitude of sincere gratitude, You are sure to be blessed with Beatitude.
