Be optimistic rather than fatalistic. Don't squander and be elated hedonistic. Retain moving; only the obdurate survive. Hand jives your way to contrive. Slump or solidity must be omitted. Wear awe mood when having moved. Don't be shy in taking elitism. Self-reliance is a wedge of realism.

You sound like Polonius in the play Hamlet. Great advice.

Oh, Thank you, that's an honor I can't claim to have, I never considered Polonius when composing this poem, but I should have because he has fantastic advice." Brevity is the soul of wit."
