MAKE A DIFFERENCE

To be poor is not shameful;
It is to be poor and to have
No high aspirations that is shameful.

To hold a lowly position is not dreadful;
It is to hold a lowly position and
Not to improve your ability that is
Dreadful.

Getting old is not lamentable;
It is to die without anyone knowing you
that is really sad.
(Chinese Proverb)
