Naive Faith

         Don’t cherish naive faith on fate !
         Build your life with self confidence.
         By trial : Your fate, you’ll create.
          On your path, gain experience.

         Work hard with truth and honesty.
          Don’t cherish naive faith on fate
          Act courageous with modesty.
          Success sure to come, soon or late.

         Righteousness must initiate 
        your path , even if uneven.
        Don’t cherish naive faith on fate.
       On own strength, life - car be driven.

      Proceed for your goal to access. 
      with own devotion and attempt.
       That’s the real path of progress.
      Don’t cherish naive faith on fate.
