Category: the year in haiku

After each success
A fresh challenge will arise;
Don’t be complacent

Do not seek revenge;
Be not like your enemies,
Then you have triumphed.

Be not a false friend,
A sly wolf in sheep’s clothing;
Kindness always wins.

Magic can happen,
When the ego is mastered;
Learn humility.

If you look for them
A thousand small miracles
Wait for you each day.

All is in motion.
Change is the only constant:
Adapt to succeed.

The words of others
Are not weapons of themselves;
Unless we choose it.

Try not to expect:
Frustration lurks at each turn
To confound your wish

Offer to give help
When others need assistance;
Your turn will come soon.

Unfailingly sure,
The cycle of the seasons
Begins once again.

We search far and wide
Whilst under our very nose
Hidden treasure lies.

Do not just read books;
Learn from that which you have read.
Show yourself improved.

Ceaselessly changing,
Nothing can remain the same
But for an instant.

Each challenge conquered,
Adversity overcome;
Character is forged.

Look for your balance.
Virtues lie between extremes:
Find the golden mean.
