LIFE

AIM

THE VALUE OF SMILE
- It costs nothing but creates much.
- It enriches those who receive
- Without impoverishing those who give it.
- It happens in a flash and the memory of it lasts forever..
- None is so rich that can get along without it.
- And none is so poor but are richer for its benefits.
- It is rest to the weary, daylight to the discouraged,
- Sunshine to the sad and nature’s best antidote for the troubles.
- Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed or stolen ,
- For it is something of no earthly good to anybody till it is given away.
- For nobody needs a smile so much as those who have none to give.

TO A LAZY MAN
- Disappoint procrastination and commit yourself.
- Stop wishing and start willing.
- Stop proposing and start purposing.
- Stop procrastinating and start planning.
- Determine to die empty and leave earth an inheritance
- That gives life to others.
- Great works are performed by perseverance and hard work.

PORTRAIT OF GOOD LIFE
- You speak so loud.
- The world can’t hear what you say.
- They are looking at your work.
- Not listening to your talk.
- They’re judging by your actions everyday.
- Don’t believe you are deceived.
- By claiming what you’ve never known.
- For they know you to be by what they can see.
- They will judge by your life alone.

- WHOM DO YOU BLAME?
- Whom do you blame,
- When all you do is sit, sit idle and stare,
- Stare unconcerned about your future,
- When even if you knew, your slothfulness and
- apathy could never, never capture?
- Whom do you blame, when you lie dreaming
- Dreaming away your precious life, dreaming
- about nothing, which lavishes greatness upon you!
- Remember, time with its swift wings,
- Flies, lies, flies away uncaptured.
- And carries with it unutilized opportunities.
- Till at last all your chances fade,
- Fade irretrievably into gloomy nothingness.
- Then friends, whom do you blame?
TO A FATHER WHO DID NOT CARE.
- I did not ask to be born,
- You had me.
- I needed love, You did not give me.
- I wanted care, I had none.
- Now that I ‘m grown, you want me
- Because you are alone, But what can I give you?
- Nothing!
MY TEACHER
- My devoted teacher,
- You are the backbone of my success
- You are important for my future
- You ensure there is never any excess
- You answer all my questions
- Both the good and the bad
- You are unhappy when late for school
- All for my sake.
- You examine me even though you are not a doctor
- You scold and rebuke me when I go wrong
- You fall sick because we make you talk too much.
- Oh! How can I ever thank my teacher?
- Who can help me thank my teacher?
- Sir don’t worry
- God’s blessings will be yours forever.
PEER INFLUENCE
- My destiny has always been in my hands
- But why did I not know?
- Do I blame my friends or my youthful joys?
- Some of my friends or my youthful joys,
- Some of my friends seem to just play.
- I play with them thinking we are all playing.
- But they learn more than they play.
- Now I know, I must sit up so that my
- Future will not be rough, so I will earn a
- Living on my own and be an asset not a
- Liability till eternity.
- I must sit up, pray hard, learn hard, workhard
- And become useful to my Creator,
- My parents, my friends, my country and the whole world.
PICK GODLY FRIEND
- No man is ever on an Island
- You will surely pick a friend
- But always remember that
- Friends that can make your life
- Worthy in the world.
- Never pick a fair weather friend
- A fair weather friend will
- Come when your bag is full
- But bolt when are dry and clean.
- Choose a friend of God who can never
- Leave you alone No matter your situation.
- Choose a friend of God for your future to uphold.
