Artist's Comments
when I was younger, I used to hold to these kind of motivation words (poems) to keep me going - err I even have those paste on my room wall/closet hehe
 it's still there until nowand one of my favourite would be this one; just a snippet from the whole poem Even though this poem actually tells me to be the best of what I am, for me, it makes me feel that I need to do more, push myself over my limit so that I could get what I'm aiming for. The thing is.. NEVER be safisfied with what I've already achieved. Start from something small; and build on from there until I get to the top. Isn't that how things are to survive in this world? I personally think that words (poems) could give more impact in changing my way of thinking (or mess me up lol) So, I just feel like sharing this snippet as it made a huge difference in my life that made me who I am today See the world from a positive side! (yes I'm saying it to myself.. really.. as I'm actually worrying about something right now haha) Be The Best of Whatever You Are By Douglas Malloch If you can't be a pine on the top of the hill, Be a scrub in the valley-but be The best little scrub by the side of the rill; Be a bush if you can't be a tree. If you can't be a bush be a bit of the grass, And some highway happier make; If you can't be a muskie then just be a bass But the liveliest bass in the lake! We can't all be captains, we've got to be crew, There's something for all of us here, There's big work to do, and there's lesser to do, And the task you must do is the near. If you can't be a highway then just be a trail, If you can't be the sun be a star; It isn't by size that you win or you fail Be the best of whatever you are! adila |
