Picture Perfect

“Said the stranger to the dreamer: Who affects how successful you are in this world”?

Said the dreamer to the stranger: I am the gatekeeper of my own greatness”. K.Sirjusingh

If you wish to be blessed, be a blessing to someone,
If you would be forgiven, forgive your enemy
For many of his shortcomings may be yours reflected.
If you wish to find love, stumble upon it yielding like a blossoming flower,
Do not try to dictate its time or place.
If you seek friendship, first delight in your solitude,
You have much to learn and love about yourself.
If you are in need of sympathy, listen to another man’s plight,
Each man’s garden is full of more weeds than flowers.
If you wish to be great take humility by the hand.
If you wish to be wise, study all men alike,
From the commoner to the king, there are lessons to be learnt.
If your desire should be to have your name remembered,
Make discipline and hardwork your teachers
And let failure also be a motivation,
Never give up or give in, follow where your heart leads you,
No matter how hard the task is or the journey,
You’ll get there when you’re meant to.
Nurture your culture and be a person of good character,
Do not throw away personal ideals, morals and values,
They are the guardians of a healthy, happy life.
To be a part of the solution rather than the problem
Aspire to be a change in the world, however minute.
And no matter what you’ve done or haven’t done,
With all your heart, give thanks for being you,
You were fashioned to achieve greatness.
