The Knowledge of Life

Life is a gift... accept it;

Life is an adventure... dare it;

Life is a mystery... unfold it;

Life is a game... play it;

Life is struggle... face it;

Life is a beauty... praise it;

Life is a puzzle... solve it;

Life is an opportunity... take it;

Life is a challenge... meet it;

Life is sorrowful... overcome it;

Life is a song... sing it;

Life is a goal... achieve it;

Life is a duty... perform it;

Life is a mission... fulfill it;

Life is knowledge... learn from it.

Took this from a bookmark I have... one of those bookmarks from the Youth Challenge Organisation. Friend of mine gave it to me back in secondary school. Really found it to be meaningful that time, probably still is but it's funny how a couple of years later, I think it's more BS than anything else. Optimism, the one thing that everybody shouldnt hold onto. The author of the The Knowledge of Life probably left the following verses out:

Life is a bitch... deal with it

Life finds ways to screw you over... anticipate it
