Try Again

If you find your task is hard
Try and try again.

Time will bring you your reward.
Try and try again.

All that other men can do
Why with patience should not you.

Only keep this rule in view
Try and try again.

Life is an art, a mountain of troubles
In your troubles, don't cry.
You should only try and try.

Struggle hard and conquer the sky.
With your skill and power of will
You should only try and try.

Bad Company

Once there was a rich man in a village.  He had a son.  His son fell into bad company.  The father advised him many times, but all in vain.

At last he hit upon a plan.  He brought some fine apples.  He ordered his son to put the apples into a box.  He himself put a rotten apple into a box.

Next day he asked the boy to open the box.  The son saw that all the apples were rotten has spoiled all the good apples.  Do not keep bad company.  Your bad friends will spoil you.

The son learnt a lesson.  He gave up bad company for good.

"Better alone than in a bad company."     

"Avoid bad company."


"A friend in need is a friend indeed."
