Tipping Balance

   Off and on life to face some turmoil .
    You cannot predict, how long it will last.
     being a simple problem or coiled !
     You need a tipping balance to adjust.

    Proceed with vigorous running dynamic ,
   in static stagnant state not to remain 
   primarily stay enthusiastic ,
    yet a tipping balance, you must maintain.
     
    You must always focus on your action 
    Run or rush or if needed to gallop.
    Put full dedication, no objection .
    Be alert ! You  know when or how to stop !
    
     Promptness is good, but don’t be impulsive
     Never cross limits on your performance 
     Think, analyse and then act decisive.
     Work hard, obeying a tipping balance.

     Occasionally you may walk tip toe,
     sometimes you are compelled to make haste,
     yet matters little whether be fast or slow.
     Each step demands tipping balance at best.
