Power Laws 43–48
Laws 43–48 retold for kids as the power of stories, patient daily work, proof through action, humble grounding as you climb, knowing when to bow and step off, and being like water rather than a stuck stick.
Words can change hearts and words can change minds, A story well-told is the best of all finds! Speak clearly and brightly, let your message ring true, The things that you say paint a picture of you. Big changes need patience, one step at a time, Don't try to do everything all in one climb! A little each day adds up to a lot, Small seeds become gardens—believe it or not.
What is, is not always what is good, People don't always act the way they should! So learn how the world works, then choose your own way, Be wise AND be kind every single day!
Actions speak louder than words ever do, So back up your promises, follow them through! Don't just say "I will," show them "I did!" The proof is the pudding—no more and no less, kid. Never take credit for things you don't do, Stay humble and thankful, be honest and true! The higher you climb, the more people will see, So stay grounded and kind as you grow like a tree.
What is, is not always what is good, People don't always act the way they should! So learn how the world works, then choose your own way, Be wise AND be kind every single day!
Learn when to stop—there's a time to say "done!" Even good things get old when they're over-spun. Know when to bow and step off the stage, A graceful goodbye is the mark of a sage. Don't cling to the past or the way things were made, Be water that flows, not a stick in the shade! The world keeps on turning, so turn with it too, Stay open and curious in all that you do.
What is, is not always what is good, People don't always act the way they should! So learn how the world works, then choose your own way, Be wise AND be kind every single day!
