THE THINKER’S MIND

THE THINKER’S MIND
When not properly nurtured, one cannot be adequately structured.
If one is not trained in the way to go, one will not know the way to grow.
If patience is taken out of a serious task,
what is left is a work in an unachieved mask.
Failure to pen down one’s life trends, is failure to know when strife ends.
Failure to give thanks when success flows, is failure to praise when trauma shows.
When one refuses to heed the word of the wise, one would yield to the words of the foolish.
No matter how the sun shines, hot, harsh and brutish; never forget that in few moments it will return to its Eastern home: don’t give up, it will be over soon.
Are you scared of the dusk; the cry of the crickets, the sounds of the frogs and the darkness that handicaps one’s sight; don’t worry, light up a candle, the dawn is at its wake, the night is almost dead; it will be daylight soon. And when morning comes, your works will be doubled. And when next the dusk comes you won’t be afraid of it: patience is the key.
The way to wisdom is the pathway to success: it takes an old wise man to spit out words of wisdom, but it takes a second for the foolish to produce foolish words; trend carefully and patiently.
