If you wish to be appreciated, then be ever grateful.
If you wish to be loved, then give love in each moment.
If you wish to be wealthy, then act to create real value.
If you wish to learn, then take time to teach.
If you wish to climb higher, then life others up.

Whatever you wish, life will surely give it.
What you must do, though, is to truly live it.
There is so much to live for and so much to see.
You will have whatever you are willing to be.
