DON'T WATCH THE WIND

By -
Go to work in the morning and stick to it until evening without watching the clock. You never know from moment to moment how your work will turn out in the end. Before the Years Take Their Toll Oh, how sweet the light of day, And how wonderful to live in the sunshine! Even if you live a long time, don't take a single day for granted. Take delight in each light-filled hour, Remembering that there will also be many dark days And that most of what comes your way is smoke.
You who are young, make the most of your youth. Relish your youthful vigor. Follow the impulses of your heart. If something looks good to you, pursue it.
But know also that not just anything goes; You have to answer to God for every last bit of it.
Live footloose and fancy free - You won't be young forever. Youth lasts about as long as smoke.
Remove vexation from your mind, and put away pain from your body: for youth and the Dawn of Life are Vanity.
Ecc:11v6-10

Give me enough food to live on,      neither too much nor too little. If I’m too full, I might get independent,      saying, ‘God? Who needs him?’ If I’m poor, I might steal      and dishonor the name of my God.” 10  Don’t blow the whistle on your fellow workers      behind their backs; They’ll accuse you of being underhanded,      and then  you’ll  be the guilty one! 11  Don’t curse your father      or fail to bless your mother. 12  Don’t imagine yourself to be quite presentable      when you haven’t had a bath in weeks. 13  Don’t be stuck-up      and think you’re better than everyone else. 14  Don’t be greedy,      merciless and cruel as wolves, Tearing into the poor and feasting on them,      shredding the needy to pieces only to discard them. 15-16  A leech has twin daughters      named “Gimm
