Only If

Knowledge is valuable,
Only if we use it wisely.

Intelligence is a good quality,
Only if we have the confidence to prove it. 

Beauty is significant,
Only if our soul is clean.

Strength is functional,
Only if we utilize to help the weak.

Friendship is true,
Only if we have trust in it.

Love is pure,
Only if we have no expectations associated with it.

Happiness is a treasure,
Only if we have found without hurting others.

Wealth is helpful,
Only if we know to spend it in the right way.

Success is meaningful,
Only if we have achieved without pulling down others.

Life is worth living,
Only if we have the courage to face the world.
