~What You Expect To Achieve For Today~
(Couplet)
What you expect to achieve for today
It better be good and beneficial to you.
Because what you decide for today,
Determines what tomorrow will be for you.
So start sowing very well and deep all your good seeds,
And apply your knowledge carefully for all your needs.
Don't waste your time crying for something that's already past,
Get your priories well and straight because today doesn't last.
Go and do something great with the rest of what's left of your life,
And don't go looking for troubles and sorrows along this road full of strife.
Watch carefully where your place down both your feet and where you stop,
Be diligent of whom you give your heart and never make it with lies to the top.
Because what you decide for today,
Determines what the tomorrow will be for you.
