life does not owe you anything, even if you think so,<\/p>\n
love does not owe you anything, even if someone loves you too,<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
happiness is not necessary, neither is sadness,<\/p>\n
the way you live is dependent on none but you,<\/p>\n
if you get luck and find life or love, celebrate; move, and do,<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
there is no assurance, or guarantee, that the next track is for you,<\/p>\n
moving quickly as a deer does not make you succeed too<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
it is in the doing that you learn most, not in the schooling,<\/p>\n
snoring under the stream will not make you a fish,<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
neither will wearing a cassock make you a priest,<\/p>\n
life does not owe you anything, even if you think so,<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
there is no assurance, or guarantee, that the next track is for you,<\/p>\n
if you listen well you might catch a fly with chopsticks,<\/p>\n
or the fly will blur your vision and complicate your mission,<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
life will come to you if you can wait and not fly off the handle,<\/p>\n
this is when life pays what it owes for your patience.<\/p>\n
