Class of 2008
My brothers and sisters of the class of 2008,
Be humble
You reap what you sow
In a new place
Get familiar with the surroundings
Get familiar with the people
You never know who can help you put up a great show
You never know who can help your dreams grow
Don't forget to brush your teeth
However it is you do it
Create an identity
That you can take pride in
Be prepared to meet all sorts of people, in all sorts of places
Learn from the experiences of others
Especially when they are willing to share
Write
Help all creatures of god
You'll be a better person for it
Surround yourself with inspiring characters
They may just inspire you
Have fun in whatever you do
Don't get sidetracked too much
But allow your creativity to flow...
Communicate
Not eveyone can see you
Not everyone can hear you
Especially when you're up there
Fight for your rights
Fight for what you believe is right
You can't make everyone happy
But try understand what's it like being in their shoes
Remember the masks people wear
Remember the masks you wear
Take a stand
But don't be afraid to stand corrected
Get you voice heard
But don't forget to listen
Appreciate the value of others
and the value of yourself
Survive
Give
Unconditionally
Don't be careless
Go outside sometimes
And do battle with the elements
Partake in the simple joys of others
It may make you smile too
Catch fish with your hands
Once you have learnt how to
Practice
Go to the beach
And listen
to the sand
Climb... mountains if you could
The view is always fantastic
Practice, many more times
Roll on the ground
Under the stars
You may have never done it this way before
But why not
Perform
like it really matters
Be prepared
for
suprises
along the way
But
nail
the
performance
nevertheless
Don't underestimate
what you can learn from others
Don't underestimate
what others can learn from you
Wave with both hands when you say goodbye
It's not too long
It's not too short
a time
It's what you do with time
Remember
Treasure
As you move along
But always
be
humble.

Humility is a strange thing, Once you think you got it, You Lose it ~ anon
catching fish with hands? listening to sand? golek2 atas pasir in different ways? Wahhh... memang banyak ilmu nak kene belajar nih *wink2* Despite all the hard-to-master-skills... this is a good poem nevertheless!
Ayu - I nearly get what you're saying ... plus minus 7 or 8 :-)
Tg - businessmen? Nowdays, budak skolah pun same...
:-)
I don't do poems!
Macam sajak Hang Tuah masa tgh bersilat dgn Hg Jebat.
Penuh amanat.. dan amanat lagi.
good motivational reading. Sometimes we get lost in doing weird stuff we call "living".
