Be the first to see
The opportunities that knock on the door
Then be the first to strike
While the iron is still hot.

Be the first to be grateful
For all that you have got
Not many have been as lucky
To receive all that they had sought

Be courageous enough to be happy
Even when problems abound
Face life with a smile
Do not let misgivings hound

Always Be the first
To share a warm and happy smile
Be the first to praise
In your own inimitable style

Be the very first
To lend a helping hand
Be among the first
To sacrifice for your motherland

Be the first to forgive
It will help to heal your soul
It will also remove all negativity
So Let kindness be your goal

Be the first to donate
To the needy whom you find
Also be the first
To maintain a stance that’s kind

Be the first
To own up to your fault
It will help you at all times
To enmity and jealousy, halt

Be the first to back out
When situations are tight
Do not get aggressive
And restless for a fight

Never be the first
To point a finger at others
For if it boomeranged on you
It will lead to awful shudders

Never be the first
To start a silly fight
You are secure in your world
You don’t need to show your might

Don’t be the first
To gossip or to jeer
Don’t encourage these habits
On this – be very clear

So learn these basic lessons
On being positive in all ways
This will lead to a life
Of blessed fulfilling days
