There is hardly a man on earth who will take advice unless he is certain that it is positively bad.

Think Possitvely
Think positively
Why do you think negatively
The opportunity
Of thinking negatively
Could have been used
To think positively
So think positively
Why do you enjoy wickedness
Instead of kindness
Why are you a destroyer
Instead of being a savior
Be equity and justice
Than being partial
For thinking positively
Solves all problems

Tired Eyes
Well he shot four men in a cocaine deal
And he left them lyin in an open field
Full of old cars with bullet holes in the mirrors.
He tried to do his best but he could not.
Please take my advice, please take my advice
Please take my advice.
Open up the tired eyes,
Open up the tired eyes.
Well, it wasnt supposed to go down that way.
But they burned his brother, you know,
And they left him lying in the driveway.
They let him down with nothin.
He tried to do his best but he could not.
Please take my advice, please take my advice
Please take my advice.
Open up the tired eyes,
Open up the tired eyes.
Well tell me more, tell me more, tell me more
I mean was he a heavy doper or was he just a loser?
He was a friend of yours.
What do you mean, he had bullet holes in his mirrors?
He tried to do his best but he could not.
Please take my advice, please take my advice
Please take my advice.
Open up the tired eyes,
Open up the tired eyes.
Please take my advice, please take my advice
Please take my advice.
Open up the tired eyes,
Open up the tired eyes.

Advice
We travel down so many roads,
during the course of our lives.
Occasionally we have to stop awhile,
and ask someone for advice.
Not all advice is good,
and nor is it bad.
However, advice is advice;
to all we should take heed.
A little help is always welcome,
from where ever it may come.
It’s just how we use it,
which makes it good or bad.

Positive
You wish for me to say something positive?
Okay!
You are positively in denial,
Of the plight of your blight!
Which is positively a result of your negative greed.
Fed by your positive inability,
To be concerned about the outcome you now face...
With positive detrimental consequences.
I can not be any more positive than that!

You May Not Remember Me. But...
The best advice ever given to someone,
Was probably solicited.
With a promise not to become offended,
When the decision was made to deliver it.
To eventually despise the one who was direct.
Yes?
And after years of being upset...
The one given the advice once in denial,
Recognizes the advice to be the best.
Right?
And then with a doing...
There is an attempt to make amends.
Hoping to be forgiven.
'Hello...
You may not remember me.
But...
I was the one who asked for your advice.
And after you gave it to me...
I accused you of being mean and cruel.
And did everything I could to ruin your life.
Do you remember me?
Hello?
Hello? '
Well...
In 'some' cases when asking for advice,
And that advice is disliked?
It is highly recommended,
To leave one's mother out of it.
With an insinuating of one's preference.
Or disgracing someone,
Because of something you've done!
Since it is hard to overcome,
An impression made left as a reference.

Only Halfway To Everywhere
You could be so energy
Electricity
You could be lightening
You could be anything
A masterpiece
A revolutionary
You can see what, you want to see
Can you let it be?
Learn or teach
Chorus
Im only halfway to everywhere
Im thinking positively
Positively
This is possible
They can say right or wrong
Never hear this song
Or look you in the eye
Im getting rid of negativity
Lose the loss in me
Call it equality
Good luck is a frame of mind
Call it humankind
And say its destiny

Good Advice
Open the window I need some air
So many people and theres such disorder here
Familiar faces found out lies
Turn to the street now I watch the passers by
I wonder what they recognize
And what theyd recommend to fill my days
Possessions start to wear me down
I need some good advice some good advice to wear me down
Im nervous can you help me
Im nervous can you help me
Im nervous can you help me
Im nervous can you help me
Instead they harbor secret thoughts
They break through windows that have twice been locked
I have to walk to wear me out
I need some good advice some good advice to wear me down
Im nervous can you help me
Im nervous can you help me
Im nervous can you help me
Im nervous can you help me
I throw my arms and pray to leave
I gotta head for love like is inside me
My lips press tight so not to drown
I need some good advice some good advice to wear me down
Im nervous can you help me
Im nervous can you help me
Im nervous can you help me
Im nervous can you help me
Give me some good advice to help me along
If I know its true
Give me some good advice to help me along
If I know its true
Give me some good advice to help me along
If I know its true
Im nervous
Give me some good advice to wear me down

Sound Advice
(words & music by baum - giant)
Some folks tell you what to do
They think they know more than you
They insist that theyre givin sound advice
But as sure as youre livin
It aint sound, it aint nice
It just doesnt sound like sound advice
Some folks like to be the boss
They get up on their high horse
Oh they say that youre gettin, sound advice
There one thing Im bettin
It aint wise, it aint nice
You wont like the sound of their advice
Sound advice were given
Just as sure as your as youre livin
If your smart youll think twice
When they start to sound off with advice
Sound advice were given
Just as sure as your as youre livin
If your smart youll think twice
When they start to sound off with advice
Dont listen to their sound advice

Set Down Rules
Proud and arrogant!
But a humble person will not argue, dispute nor disobey set down rules;
So work very hard to develop yourself positively on this earth,
And try to change yourself from the inside first.

I Keep My Best Advice to Myself
If I had a dime,
For those times...
I did not take my own advice,
I'd be up at least a dollar.
At least.
'That doesn't make sense.
You're saying you take your own advice,
Most of the time.'
Exactly.
The problem is this...
The people I use to give it to,
Have no clue as to its value.
And I am very protective,
Of my own investments.
That's why I keep my best advice,
To myself these days.
And somebody owes me some money,
To have it kept that way.
No more freebees!
Not here.

I Ate My Homework For Brekky
I ate my homework for brekky,
whilst tying on my shoes.
I had a sidecourse of spaghetti,
but my poor dog had the blues.
'My homework was really yummy'
I said as I headed out the door,
'positively scrummy, I'll be coming back for more! '
But when I told my teacher,
She went positively insane!
Gave me twenty-two detentions,
and chucked me into the rain!
And so I went back home again,
thinking i'd done a sin,
but then i realized,
with a groan,
I'd chucked my new homework in the bin! !

THINKING
A POEM BY DR. RAM SHARMA
If you think, you have been defeated,
Then certainly you have been defeated,
If you think, you have no courage,
Then certainly, you do not have courage,
If you want to win,
If you have to think positively,
Think, Think, Think, positively,
That will count

Heart Shaped Box
She eyes me like a pisces when I am weak
I've been locked inside your Heart-Shaped box for weeks
I've been drawn into your magnet tar pit trap
I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn back
Hey! Wait!
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey! Wait!
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Your advice
Meat-eating orchids forgive no one just yet
Cut myself on angel's hair and baby's breath
Broken hymen of your highness I'm left black
Throw down your umbilical noose so I can climb right back
Hey! Wait!
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey! Wait!
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Your advice (x3)

Ellerhu
So much troubles in this world,
So much bombs in this world,
With many dead bodies every now and then!
But the sun blessed my eyes this morning;
For the blast of the spaceship was noted by us! !
But i am Ellerhu in the land of joy,
So wake up and live now very positively on this earth.

Think Positively
Keep your characters running very smoothly!
And be prepared to do the right thing always;
For honesty is the policy of moral excellence.
Think wisely and think positively,
And never let the consequences of your actions sink in!
But the needful things in life should be guided always with love.
Finder keepes and the loser weeps,
But the thing for you will never get missing!
And like your people and your inheritance;
But the time machine will always be closer to us.
Think positively just like the first time,
Because, the highest heavens are watching you! !
And, be very productive to overcome every trouble in this life.

Nothing is less sincere than our mode of asking and giving advice. He who asks seems to have a deference for the opinion of his friend, while he only aims to get approval of his own and make his friend responsible for his action. And he who gives advice repays the confidence supposed to be placed in him by a seemingly disinterested zeal, while he seldom means anything by his advice but his own interest or reputation.

Thank You Clairvoyants
Thank you clairvoyants for inspiriting me
Thank you clairvoyants for advice in my recovery.
Thank you clairvoyants for all your spiritual advice
Thank you clairvoyants for all things whole and nice.
Thank you clairvoyants for bringing me closer to the source
Thank you clairvoyants for listening to my voice.
And thank you clairvoyants for being on this Earth plane

Advice may not be good advice 10 or 15 years from now. Someone could tell you something years ago and it might not work now. The world is constantly changing. One word could mean something different today. Today you can't give advice to anyone.
