May your hands always be busy
May your feet always be swift
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift.
May your heart always be joyful
May your song always be sung
May you stay forever young

What you swiftly realize if you peek over the wall of your own immediate neighborhood or environment, and travel beyond it, is, first, that we have a huge surplus of people who wouldn’t change anything about the way they were born, or the group they were born into, but second that “humanity” (and the idea of change") is best represented by those who have the wit not to think, or should I say feel, in this way.

“The most important single ingredient to success in athletics or life is discipline. I have many times felt that this word is the most ill-defined in all of our language.
