we always ask ourselves.
“Is he mad?” we ask our friends.
“Doesn’t he know how tired we are?”
we ask our friends again.
Well, my sisters and brothers,
this is my advice...
No man brought poverty.
It is our doing. If we don’t work hard,
then we will become poor.
I understand that when you work hard
people become jealous
and let the manager throw you out.
But you must challenge them
if you want to be successful.
However, if you gain success
do not abandon your friends.
Help them too
and food shall bless you.
