Whenever life knocks you down,
Get back on your feet and fight,
Whenever the downs of life at you frown,
Stare them down and of them make light!
Whenever the blows of life hit you hard,
Lick your wounds till they heal,
Against all things that can pull you down you need to guard,
As it is a question of your well-being and weal!
Do not give up whatever it takes,
Do not throw in the towel or mope,
It is unbounded courage which of you a real person makes,
It is your tenacity for life that makes up hope!
In life you get back what you give,
Take the punches of life in your stride,
This is the only brave way to live,
Let this rugged perspective be your beacon and guide!

Wonderful, Professor Saheb. Very well said. It doesn’t matter what life serves you. What matters is what you make of it. One only needs to focus on what one wants to achieve. The limitations or impediments that we see, are all only in the mind. If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter.
