"Life’s philosophy for us is to grow.. ."

Image by dotbenjamin via Flickr

Have you ever noticed,

There are people who are

Literally at the same place

As they were five or ten years ago?

They still have the same dreams,

Problems, alibis, opportunities,

And the same way of thinking.

They are still standing in life,

But their lives had stopped like a watch ten years ago.

Life’s philosophy for us is to grow,

To continue to learn and improve,

For the biggest room in our house is

Always for self-improvement.

Learn from everyone, one may learn for

Things no to do, from another what to do

One way to keep learning is never to

Stop asking questions, for everyone who

Keeps on learning not only remains

Young, but becomes more consistently more valuable

Regardless of physical capacity.

Learn from others. Learn to see in the

Challenges of others, the ills I should avoid,

For life teaches us by giving us

New problems before we solve the old ones.

    Wise words, but sometimes life is brought to a halt by a sudden bereavement or some other tragedy. It really can feel as if you are stuck in time, it can take years to move beyond something like that.
