Get On Your Feet

GET ON YOUR FEET
Dream as if you’ll live forever.
Live as if you’ll die today.

How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment
Before starting to improve,
Before starting to improve the world.

Age does not depend upon years
But upon temperament and health.
Some men are born old
Some never grow, so:

Don’t ask what the world needs.
Ask what makes you come alive and go do it.
Because what the world needs are people who have come alive.

To laugh often and much to win the respect of intelligent people
And the affection of children,
To have the world a better place.
To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.
This is to have succeeded.

Rejoice while you are alive, enjoy the day.
Live life to the fullest; make the most of what you have.
It is later than you think.
Life is the art of drawing without an eraser.
