Nothing you write if you hope to be any good, ever comes out as you first hoped for.

Life is like a boxing ring. You can’t really learn the ropes until you’ve been out on them a few times. People are in so much of a rush.  Like a turtle you should slow down and see through what you are doing.

Like the eagles see, look at what you want to do in life. You may find what the elders have in store for you. 

Like the owl, choose wise what your heart has to remember from what they did in the past.
