Nice, Wise, Precise Self-Advice

Post by mv. venkataraman » Sat Sep 11, 2010 9:23 pm

Never think of the lost past
Scope in future is truly vast

Aim to utilize the present
To live only all are sent

When you happen to lose
Never negatively muse

View loss as very common
Embraces all that demon

If you happen to suffer
Stoic bearing you prefer

Offer the best resistance
God will do the assistance

Regretting is really of no use
So that action, never choose

Your progress is damn sure
If your aim is noble and pure

Thousand times if you try
Your tears, sweats will dry

Do your level best please
From attempts never cease

In case only defeats arise
Please think by being wise

If something is a cake-walk
About you, none will talk

Your success will give no surprise
As you have paid not any price

Struggle alone will succeed
Hard-work is the sole need

Victory loves only true efforts
It will give then only comforts

Giving up is an act of cowardice
It will not be called a sacrifice

Aim high and lawfully attempt
Fear and tear may badly tempt

Keep courage and trustfully proceed
Plant with confidence hope-seed

Go ahead without any doubt
To prove firmly your clout

God is there to take proper care
All your burdens He will share.
