Hey! Is That You?

Hey! Is that you?
Why are you crying?
Does people told you that you have a bad breath?
Never mind about it,
Just remind and promise yourself with these words: beginning today I will not neglect to brush my teeth everyday.


Hey! Is that you?
Why are you angry?
Does people told you that you have a bad smell?
Never mind about it,
Just remind and promise yourself with these words: beginning today, I will take a bath everyday!

Hey! Is that you?
Why are you sad?
Does people told you that you’re an idiot?
Never mind about it,
Just remind and promise yourself with these words: beginning today, I will read good books, so the wisdom of the ages will be mine.

Hey! Is that you?
Why you are trying to tie your head at the Moringa Tree?
Does your sweetheart breaking and left you?
Take that rope out in your head,
Stand-up, don’t act like coward and never mind about it,
Just remind and talk to yourself with these words: Hurt and aching, breaking heart, this too shall pass!


Hey! Is that you?
Why are you shouting?
Does your neighbor gossiping and laughing at you?
Never mind about it,
Just remind and talk to yourself with these words: I will encourage myself to confront them. But I should be tactful in dealing with. For I know that I am not dealing with people of logic but dealing with people of emotions. But before doing it, I will remind myself with these words: “A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.” For I know that a kind word is better than a big pie!


Hey! Is that you?
Why are you worrying?
Does people told that your dreams are impossible?
Never mind about it,
Just remind and talk to yourself with these words: if you think you are beaten, you are! If you think you dare not, you don’t! If you’d like to win but you think you can’t, it’s certainly you won’t. Life battles are not always go to stronger or faster man. But sooner or later, the man who wins is the man who thinks he can! Therefore, I can if I think I can!


Finally, I will continue to remind myself that the future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams!

Wish you many blessings to come and God Bless!
