To others respect we must give,
In a polite manner we must learn to live,
Even when things don't go your way,
Criticising of others you have no right to do.
Learn to fail and try again,
For you'll always see the sun after rain,
Accept your mistakes, from obstacles don't hide,
Manners and courtesy don't push aside.
Don't be vain and never be proud,
Don't try to be highlighted in the midst of a crowd,
Don't stamp your feet and try to win,
Earn it and on that day you will grin.
Don't hurt others and put them down,
Just for yourself to earn a crown,
If others do wrong and trouble they give,
Learn to smile and then forgive.
