Life is for a very short period,

During which use hope- method,

Even you come only third,

Tell yourself a patting word !

Have not any inferiority complex,

It will humiliate you to vex,

Your own self you will perplex,

If, self-confidence, you annex !

---

Your present worry has no basis,

You are living in a true oasis,

Courageously face the crisis,

You will attain Divine bliss !

As dirty tricks, cruel fate does,

Arising agonies will be numerous,

Remedy lies in being humorous !

Keep calm under severe pressure,

Consider work as a holy pleasure,

Bliss indeed is a priceless treasure,

In life for finely coming up,

Close your mouth via silence-zip !

Take time, but do very intellegently,

Enjoy all your victories silently,

Start now itself wisely confidently,

Success will salute you obediently !

---

Surrender into God's laps,

He will solve your each lapse,

By adding feather in your caps,

Please ever pray my dear chaps !
