Like an ant that is dedicated,

If one does one's job well,

Great feats can be created,

Like Heaven, World will excel !

-

Like a dog if one is loyal,

And show love toward one's job,

Great dreams will become real,

One's happiness, none can rob !

-

Like a donkey if one carries burden,

Without anger or even murmur,

Any toughest job can be well-done,

In mind, will occur no tremor !

---

If one relaxes like a cat,

One can surely avoid tension,

Head will be cool under the hat,

Let a cat come to one's attention !

---

Elephant's power if one possesses,

Both in one's body and in mind,

One can bear life's all reverses,

And precious peace, one can find !

---

The enduring power of a horse,

If is held by one in his life,

One will twinkle like those stars,

By managing every strife !

-

Like a cow giving sweet milk,

If one delivers useful goods,

One gets no occasion to sulk,

It is bliss which one weds !

---

If one follows one's group,

Like an innocent noble goat,

Unity will act against dupe,

This vital point, one must note !

---

Like a crow, let one caw,

To call one's friends to share,

one's schemes will have no thaw,

As the head, one can ever chair !

---

If one digests insults like a pig,

And does actions like a bee,

Diamonds come out if his ideas dig,

Life becomes sweeter than honey !
