Learn

when broken
learn
when happy
learn
when bored
learn
when you float and does not know what to do
learn just the same
when filled with idealism
learn
when fed with what you cannot swallow
learn again
when the times get rough and you want to kill yourself
learn, learn, learn
you still have many things to learn
faces of life
bodies of life
learn, learn, learn everything
do not surrender

for in truth, you do not do what you only want
you will also do what you are told to do
no questions asked
or you will be left out
or you will be not a part of the picture
this life
learn, learn, learn, always learn
do not surrender
live, learn, live, learn
you will soon do all that others will tell you
learn, learn and learn again

and sooner you will have learned everything
and then do what you want to do
with firm conviction
you know now what is right
and that is what you will do,

now without even being told
you have become yourself

but still learn, learn, and learn again
because

you might be wrong,
try thinking some more, learn
relearn, learn, learn, learn, forevermore....

Hhh....

actually, I do not know what to do in my life
many important things have been my priority

but I can not find where the most important thing in my life
everything looks important and dear to me

it is not possible
but why am I not able to think?

hhhhhh...! !

No one lives long enough to learn everything they need to learn starting from scratch. To be successful, we absolutely, positively have to find people who have already paid the price to learn the things that we need to learn to achieve our goals.

Learn My Son

Learn my Son, my Mother said
From the things you’ve seen
To the things you have read,
For there is so much knowledge,
In our small World,
And when you learn it my son
It will become your pearl,
As you will shine it
And you will refine it
You will then display it proudly,
You will then profess it
A then you will confess it
And you will brag of it loudly.
Learn my son, my Mother spoke
As she talked from wisdom of age
As you can learn from many things,
Or by simply turning a page.
You can learn from a tree
If you would sit and watch a seed,
You can even learn from a poor man,
Just look upon his face, and you will be he.
Learn my son, my Mother cried
As tears came to her eyes
You can learn from tears and also smiles
You can even learn from a Child,
You can even learn, from me,
When I pass through my life,
You can learn from all men’s brothers
And why some only wish to die.
So take your knowledge and store it well
Protect it from all other men
For some Men need, what other men own.
And they will steal it as surely as you stand.
And when the years go by, and you're old and gray
In your mind many things will flow,
Some men have their wealth, many Men their gold
But their will be nothing more precious;
Than what you will know.....

Monkey And The Engineer

Once upon a time there was an engineer.
Drove a locomotive both far and near.
Accompanied by a monkey that would sit on a stool
Watching everything the engineer would do
One day the engineer wanted a bite to eat,
He left the monkey sitting on the driver's seat,
The monkey pulled the throttle, the locomotive jumped the gun
And did 80 miles an hour down the mainline run.
Big locomotive right on time, big locomotive coming down the line.
Big locomotive No. 99, left the engineer with a worried mind.
The engineer called up the dispatcher on the phone,
To tell him all about his locomotive was gone.
Dispatcher got on the wire, switch operator to the right,
Cause the monkey's got the main line sewed up tight.
The switch operator got the message on time,
Said there's a Northbound livin' on the same main line,
Open up the switch I'm gonna let him through the hole,
Cause the monkey's got the locomotive under control.
Big locomotive right on time, big locomotive coming down the line.
Big locomotive No. 99, left the engineer with a worried mind

We've all heard that we have to learn from our mistakes, but I think it's more important to learn from successes. If you learn only from your mistakes, you are inclined to learn only errors.

Resist

Words by neil peart, music by geddy lee and alex lifeson
I can learn to resist
Anything but temptation
I can learn to co-exist
With anything but pain
I can learn to compromise
Anything but my desires
I can learn to get along
With all the things I cant explain
I can learn to resist
Anything but frustration
I can learn to persist
With anything but aiming low
I can learn to close my eyes
To anything but injustice
I can learn to get along
With all the things I dont know
You can surrender
Without a prayer
But never really pray
Pray without surrender
You can fight
Without ever winning
But never ever win
Without a fight

COVID - The greatest equalizer

We are all covered in loneliness
- with a cold and lonely blanket -
desperately trying to keep our soul warm,
and fend off the insidious virus,
that is torturing and infecting
our well being.

We are hoping that sometime,
in the near future,
we would be able to emerge
from the cold and lonely blanket,
revealing a much better
and humble person.

We all should recognize
that the greatest equalizer
- the deadly virus -
doesn't discriminate,
but merely teaching us a lesson...

Nobody is above nobody...
We are all equal
and we have to learn,
to thrive and to better ourselves.

We have to learn
to respect and to be kind
to one another,
and to learn to appreciate
the little things...

Little things can make us
a bigger person ,and
a much happier person.

The most important lesson
is to learn to love, and
give love to those close to you.

To learn to enjoy every day
as it would be your last day...

You never know when
the greatest ever equalizer,
knocks on your door...
Therefore, live to love and
love to live...

The most important things are the hardest things to say. They are the things you get ashamed of, because words diminish them — words shrink things that seemed limitless when they were in your head to no more than living size when they're brought out. But it's more than that, isn't it? The most important things lie too close to wherever your secret heart is buried, like landmarks to a treasure your enemies would love to steal away. And you may make revelations that cost you dearly only to have people look at you in a funny way, not understanding what you've said at all, or why you thought it was so important that you almost cried while you were saying it. That's the worst, I think. When the secret stays locked within not for want of a teller, but for want of an understanding ear.

I'm now doing three things: concerts, conducting, and teaching, and they each support each other. I learn to see things from different perspectives and listen with different ears. The most important thing that you need to do is really listen.

A Way To Destiny

Find a way through life
And learn how to survive
When things are going wrong
And there's no glimpse of a morn
For destiny is right now far
And till then there are
Many hardships to face
And many pang's way to trace
So learn to bear the pain
Without any words of complain
And find a way to destiny
Without any thoughts uncanny.

Treasure Those Moments

what makes one happy
well it depends on the person
some people find happiness in the simple things
others dont take much notice
some people find happiness from people
in many different ways
some people find happiness from the important things
but to sum it up, we all find happiness sometime
even if its just a second,
it was still there right?
you should treasure those moments for as long as possible
happiness is a gift for us
laugh as much as possible
it involves smileing
which implies amusement
which implies pleasure
which implies happiness
maybe not always
nothing is ever always
not even your spirit
which continues on for a while
but my point is
to not waste your life
find happiness
and dont let things bring you down

Experiment of God's Wish

That we live encouraged,
To acknowledge and grow...
Is important.

That we share what is learned...
And upon others bestow,
What it is we know...
Is important.

That the slate is wiped cleaned,
From that which is demeaning.
And we strive to occupy our minds,
With meaning and beneficial things.
And this to others we present and bring...
Is important while we still exist.

To discover that which affords us all happiness,
Is important.

Since this is why we have been blessed to be here!
And this is the 'experiment' of God's wish!
For you,
And me.
On this planet we have come to call Earth.
This has been important,
From the time we experienced,
That process of birth.

Live And Learn

[INTRO:]
(Live and learn)
Don't be afraid to
Do what you must do
(Live and learn)
[1a:]
You can never undo
Whatever's been done
You're so afraid
That true love may never come
Maybe tomorrow will bring
Happiness in
And in a little while
You could learn to smile
Again, oh, oh
But never give up
That's a big mistake
Be true to your heart
And even if it breaks
You can still
[1b:]
Love another day
Find another way
Take a little time
And you could find
That one day your heart
Will have a home
[CHORUS:]
Live and learn
When the morning comes
You'll see things in a different light
Give a little time
Don't be afraid to
Do what you must do
It's all up to you
To live and learn
[2:]
What's done is done
Past is past
You can look around
But you can never go back, keep on
Living your life
Living it right
Take a little time
And you could find
That one day your heart
Will have a home
[CHORUS:]
To live and learn
(Don't be afraid to
Do what you must do
It's all up to you)
Don't be afraid to
Do what you must do
It's all up to you
(Don't be afraid to
Do what you must do
It's all up to you)
To live and learn
[1b:]
[CHORUS:]
[repeat 2 times]

Why That Should Be Important to Them

When there are those who insist upon doing things their way...
And they do things,
Their way.
Why is it they have negative things to say,
About those who choose not to follow them?
They should be pleased.
Why do they then spend their time,
Attempting to prove to others they are right?
Shouldn't their activities be occupying their minds?
Doing those things their way.
Instead of trying to find out who is not?
And why that should be important to them!
Leaving what they say they do to be left undone.
Afterall...
Isn't having things to do their way the way they wanted,
Anyway?
And why are they upset with those who pay them no attention?
Someone is not doing what they say they do!
And 'busy bodied' nosy people always make claims!

The Working Hour

These things
That I've
Been told
Can rearrange
My world
My doubt
In time
But inside out

This is the working hour
We are paid by those who learn by our mistakes

This day
And age
For all
And not for one
All lies
And secrets
Put on
Put on and on
