Be wisely ambitious,
Ambition is precious,
Forget not to be pious,
Helps being industrious.
-
Let your steps be damn cautious,
Bad habits are initially delicious,
They later turn out to be pernicious,
Abstaining from them is gracious.
-
Try to think like sage Confucius,
Over losses, become not furious,
As anger is to health injurious,
In preserving health, be serious.
-
Life need not be always glorious,
It will appear to be at times laborious,
By using a God-given brain, be curious,
Let not your efforts be just spurious.
-
The reason for failure is obvious,
Man toils not, but feels envious,
Be zealous and not badly jealous,
Laziness is invariably disastrous.
-
When fate turns out to be monstrous,
Man must tackle it by being dexterous,
Loneliest life calmly led in the uterus,
Must teach a lesson and better us.
-
If mind is built by hopefulness,
It can even bear the worst stress,
Impress not God by costly dress,
But, via toil to locate His address.
-
Work hard to become prosperous,
In that process, become not nervous,
Ambition expects you to be onerous,
The Almighty alone is always generous.
-
Toward the needy, be magnanimous,
Though too much of it is dangerous,
Keep away from brain worry-virus,
Ever be calm and never boisterous.
-
To be hilarious, ways are numerous,
Noble desires make life wondrous,
Pray and do tasks that are arduous,
Greed for wealth makes life rancorous !
