Things My Mother Taught Me
If you study
you will learn
if you work hard
you will be rewarded
if you say something
mean what you say
if you give your word
stand by it
if you lie
you will be discovered
if you are honest
you will have a good reputation
if there are crowds
don't follow them
if you do something
do it to the best of your ability
if you cry
do not be ashamed
if you give
give generously with compassion
if you promise
fulfill your promise
if you are fair
you will be treated fairly
if you love
love with passion and respect
if you do all these things
you will lead a good life
and be happy as long
as you live.
