Apart from prosperous riches,

Great satisfaction work fetches,

Value of life, hard-work teaches,

Peak of mirth, a toiler reaches.


Mind is indeed a very great institute,

Its structure, great ideas constitute,

Those jobless men feel destitute,

As they have no work to substitute.


Working hard is never a silly joke,

In sweat, one's body, one must soak,

To learn, one's nose, one must poke,

Success won't come in one stroke.


In any job, show full involvement,

Be thankful for an employment,

View work itself as an enjoyment,

Be devoted to your assignment.


Think not hard-work leads to exploitation,

About your work, gather more information,

You are placed in a very strong position,

For promotion, you get a recommendation.


Whatever may be your present placement,

Put for your career a very strong basement,

For you, there mustn't be any replacement,

Be sincere and honest in your commitment.


Suddenly may severely shoot up work-load,

Even though your speed might have slowed,

If courage and conviction are boldly showed,

To you, your employer will feel surely owed.


In work-execution, be ever smart,

Be a supersonic plane, not a cart,

After finishing work, you depart,

Let there be no fault on your part.


Learning of work must be thorough,

Day by day, knowledge must grow,

In disgust, taken job, don't throw,

You must raise everyone's eyebrow.


Colossal patience is indispensable,

You must be totally dependable,

Your share must be commendable,

By prayer, everything is mendable!
