Don’t judge a book by its cover.


Cover of a book may look attractive, but the book may turn
out to be waste of time. On the other hand, a book with
ordinary cover may turn out to be a great read. Similarly,
we shouldn’t judge people by their outward appearance

It is the first step that is difficult.

When attempting something new, the first step is often the


most difficult because we hesitate at the beginning of a
task, especially when it’s not easy. Take that first step, and
it’ll progressively get easier.

God helps those who help themselves.

Some leave everything to God, not putting in the work.


Result? They don’t succeed. God helps those who work
hard and give their best

Look before your leap.

Assess before you jump into something new. Make sure it’s
not something that will harm you, if not now then in
future.

You can’t always get what you want.

We can’t always get what we want. Even the super-rich


don’t get some of the things they want. So, don’t be
disappointed if you couldn’t get an object of desire.

POEMS
Bed In Summer And does it not seem hard to you,
By Robert Louis Stevenson When all the sky is clear and blue,
In winter I get up at night And I should like so much to play,
And dress by yellow candle-light. To have to go to bed by day?
In summer, quite the other way, THE COW
I have to go to bed by day. By Robert Louis Stevenson
I have to go to bed and see The friendly cow, all red and white,
The birds still hopping on the tree, I love with all my heart:
She gives me cream with all her might,
Or hear the grown-up people’s feet To eat with apple tart.
Still going past, me in the street. She wanders lowing here and there,
And yet she cannot stray, And blown by all the winds that pass
And wet with all the showers,
All in the pleasant open air, She walks among the meadow grass
The pleasant light of day; And eats the meadow flowers
My Best Friend The Rainbow
Abby Jenkins By Christina Rossetti
Black and white, Thick and furry Boats sail on the rivers,
Fast as the wind, always in a hurry And ships sail on the seas;
Couple of spots, rub my ears But clouds that sail across the sky
Always comes when his name he hears Are prettier far than these.
Loves his ball; it's his favorite thing
There are bridges on the rivers,
As pretty as you please;
What's most fun for him? Everything!
But the bow that bridges heaven,
Great big tongue that licks my face
And overtops the trees,
Has a crate, his very own space
And builds a road from earth to sky,
Big brown eyes like moon pies
Is prettier far than these.
He's my friend till the very end
The Swing
By Robert Louis Stevenson
How do you like to go up in a swing,
Up in the air so blue?
Oh, I do think it the pleasantest thing
Ever a child can do!

Up in the air and over the wall,


Till I can see so wide,
River and trees and cattle and all
Over the countryside--

Till I look down on the garden green,


Down on the roof so brown--
Up in the air I go flying again,
Up in the air and down.
