It hurts, it hurts you know!
If people will tell that you have a bad breath.
It hurts, it hurts you know!
If people will tell that your teeth is yellowish.
It hurts, it hurts you know!
If people will tell that you have a bad smell.
It hurts, it hurts you know!
If people will tell that you’re an idiot.
It hurts, it hurts you know!
If someone you love, doesn’t love you.
It hurts, it hurts you know!
If you’re close friend will betray you.
It hurts, it hurts you know!
If your neighbors will back fight and mock at you.
It hurts, it hurts you know!
If your boss will fire you without legal basis.
It hurts, it hurts you know!
If there’s no one else will trust you.
To stop repeating it hurts, it hurts you know!
Starting today, encourage yourself to have a new life,
Evaluate as well as examine your being,
So you can be able to decipher the real cause of always saying…It hurts, it hurts you know!
Listen now to the counsel of the wise
What you do not want others to do to you, do not do to others, forgive injuries.
Forgive thy enemy, be reconciled to him, give him assistance, and invoke God in his behalf. For that is the secret to have a good and peaceful life.
Always remember, none but one can harm you
None but yourself, who are your greatest foe,
He that respects himself is safe from others,
He wears a coat of mail that none can pierce.
Always bear in mind, that the best investment you can give to yourself is you!
You can make a lot of money, by investing in you than any other investment,
Therefore, feed your mind always with knowledge and wisdom,
For that is your only treasure as well as your shields in times of famine.
Above all, don’t and don’t ever forget to nurture your character
For your character are your only tools and weapons,
To protect and cover your reputation,
Against the mighty foe, the trap, and the honey words of the evil men.
Wish you many blessings to come and God Bless!
