Optimistic Mind


We are allowed one opportunity in this lifetime to acquire all the knowledge we choose,
Some people find a thrill in the pursuit of knowledge; some need a mentor, or a muse.
Someone to inspire the lost because sometimes everyone needs little motivation,
Our mind is the foundation for everything we do; the way we think, our own creation.
Why not invest time in something that matters? 
An unhealthy mind breeds unhealthy choices; then a life shatters. 
The more you know, the more you grow your knowledge base, 
Things in life become within reach; your dreams become easier to chase. 
It's never too late to grab a book for the sheer purpose of entertaining your mind, 
An active mind will make Alzheimer's a disease in your life that is hard to find.
You only live once; live it to the fullest in various aspects, 
Expand your travel, your family, but most importantly, your mind; make it a reflex.
