When hungry, eat your rice, tired, close your eyes.
When dirty, have a bath with water clean.
When in company, talk words soft and nice.
When idle, relax, read books never seen.
In love, never give all your heart, keep some.
In the garden of life, be the flower,
Be not the weed, bees will not come to hum.
When confused, go and take a good shower.
When you feel like crying, cry your heart out.
When you feel like laughing, laugh out loudly.
Listen to yourself quietly, shut your mouth.
Think twice before listening too quickly.
Lead your life as if tomorrow you would die.
Live for the great moment and never cry.
