Life is so short that one needs to get it right at the beginning,
so that one can make it a worthwhile venture
Lots of distractions come every now and then and if care is not taken,
one might lose focus and give in just when it is about to achieve a feat
Life is full of challenges but only the tough will get going
even when the going gets tough
Life is beautiful and should be enjoyed but one needs to dictate the pace,
or else things might not eventually turn right
Life needs to be carefully planned;
goals set, skills and knowledge acquired and shared,
friendship developed and sustained,
care given to those who need it,
laughing and planning to laugh more,
crying when it is necessary,
celebrating the good times,
accessing what caused the bad times and working to make it better next time
Life should be enjoyed
Life must be lived purposely--every day should count and be a step moving one closer to one’s destination.
The destination should be pre-determined so that there would not be a detour
Life may be short and yet purposeful while some may be long and worthless
The choice of a purposeful life is what everyone should consider.
