Live,Learn and Excel

Use it wisely,your mind,the key,
Use it to analyse quickly,everything that you see,
Use it to solve problems,,easy as 1,2,3,
Not the pace of a snail,mind busy like a bee,,,

Your future,your present,your past,
Where are you coming form,where are you now,how long will it last,
Are you moving at the right pace,too slow or too fast,
Will your later days be comfortable or will you still be paying the cost,,,

Life journey teaches,with an open mind,you'll learn it,
The bridges that you crossed,learn from your past,don't you ever burn it,
You know what's good for you,so if things ain't right,time to turn it,
Excel in life,pray,work hard and you'll surely earn it,,,(c)

Hi guys,,,missed you all !!!

My friend, Will Steiger, the Minnesota explorer who first reported the cave-in of ice shelf "B" in Greenland (2009) told me upon returning home "James, you are aware, sometimes that is enough" Richard, in this sweet piece, you encourage us all in a similar fashion...may the wind be at your back, brother..jmg
