Never
Never get accustomed to something,
It would make you weak,
Try to come over something you have always suffered,
Never ever prove yourself a “used –to” freak.
Never get satisfied with what have you done,
Try to make it better,
Never sit down and tell “This is my best”.
But instead be an untiring go-getter.
Never say, “I give up”
Because this gives a chance to others
TO be better than you,
Do the job until you reach the target.
And the obstacles you suffered,
You shall never forget.
Try to know the ways of the world,
Being meek every time would not help,
Be clever, wise and selfless at the same time,
And then the successful sound would chime.
Know that,
Every one in the world is virtuously self-seeking,
But it does not mean that every self seeking person is virtuous,
So be careful in making your friends,
OR in case you would meet the bad ones,
And leave behind the good one.
Be what you want others to be,
Do not expect good behavior from every one,
Because it is a thing which even God cannot anticipate,
Your acquaintances are written in your fate,
Someone is your enemy; some one is your mate.
So act carefully in this world,
This is a very confusing burlesque,
And for achieving success,
Never try to be grotesque.
