You Can Win If You Rightly Begin

For your thoughts, you are the boss You can surely prevent your loss Your happiness, you only hold You can make your ideas gold For your health, you are the master All the good habits, you can muster You can be sad, mad or even glad It depends upon the preference had You can converse, argue or shout You can be clear or have doubt You can love or hate or be indifferent It depends upon your mind's current You can laugh, smile, cry or weep What you sow, you surely reap You can joke or be serious You can be true or specious You can take a firm stand To make your life grand Or stoop before others meekly And give up your goals weakly You can be sociable and kind Or arrogant with a bad mind Everything good, you may own Or lose everything to atone If you are wise, take my advice And your plans, you revise If my advice seems to be wrong To listen to it, never at all prolong If my advice is sensible only Kindly follow it daily duly Always the choice is yours You can get tears or cheers Never do anything due to force That is the best advice of course Use the freedom given to you And shrewdly make a self-rescue All the best in your endeavor Always use reasoning power!
