This is an example of a new poetry form called TREE. The counterpoints are arrayed as branches separated by the '<>' which symbolises the trunk. The lines (pairs of branches) concern the same theme or topic. The first line in bold is the heading. The lines increase in length forming a triangular 'tree' shape.
-----------------------------------------
Truth beyond bias in belief and perception
Counter <> Intuitive
To be me <> Or not to be
Practice makes perfect <> Boredom fosters sloppiness
Try to be happy all the time <> Full range of emotions fulfills.
Improving your weaknesses <> Focus on what you are best at
Always just be yourself <> Adapt, change in response to others
Pick me, I'm such a beauty <> All that glitters is not gold
Work less to achieve more <> Taking a break, wastes your time
Failure is a setback drudge <> Trial and error a win out need
Giving is better than receiving <> Rewarding oneself is fulfilling
Less is more, easier to choose <> Less to choose from you miss the best one
First impressions are reliable <> Snap judgments are biased by your failings
When investments fail cut your losses <> Keep investing until you turn the corner
Trying too hard voids success <> Success comes through perseverance
Least competent overstate their ability <> Highly skilled understate competence
All medicines have a placebo effect <> Distrust medicines until they work
Being less obsessed, detached wins out <> Success comes by focusing on your goals
Spend more to save more, buy quality <> Buy cheap, good things, nothing lasts forever.
No luck in success, just hard work <> The more you try the luckier you become.
