Life’s lessons are simple and easy. The difficult part is learning them.

Lesson No. 1:
If you can but they can’t
And you can help those who can’t,
Can’t you just do what you can
So they can do what they can’t?
Lesson No. 2:
If you do what you don’t
But don’t care what you did,
They will do what you did
‘Coz they don’t do any better
Than those who do what they don’t.
Lesson No. 3:
Those who will but won’t
Will deny that they won’t.
Will they stop the “I will”
If their will means they won’t?

    Will, I think helping others is a good think, In some cases we should wait for them to ask for our help.
