With spirit of New Year, people make resolutions, people wishing something that they didn’t get yet last year and maybe there are some people that still mourning what they’ve done and they couldn’t do last year…
For those people who still mourning, I hope these words help you to start little steps for better life.
Wishing
By: Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Do you wish the world were better?
Let me tell you what to do
Set a watch upon your actions
Keep them always straight and true
Rid your mind of selfish motives
Let your thoughts be clean and high
You can make a little Eden of sphere you occupy
Do you wish the world were wiser?
Well, suppose you make a start;
By accumulating wisdom in the scrapbook of your heart;
Do not waste one page on foolish
Live to learn and learn to live
If you want to give men knowledge, you must get it, ere you give
Do you wish the world were happy?
Then remember day by day
Just to scatter seeds of kindness, as you pass along the way,
For the pleasure of the many, may be ofttimes traced to one
As the hand that plants an acorn, shelters armies from the sun.
