 A phrase that people for CENTURIES have said,

 but why do people still become DEPRESSED?



A life is an average of 80 YEARS,

you can still try again,

                                                         it won't be NEAR.



If you FAIL in a test,

it's not the END of your life,

just SEE where you went wrong,

and hope for BETTER next time.



If you're a new actor,

and your movies are not up to FAME,

you don't have to perform SUICIDE,

just wait for your NAME.



Life is a HILL,

it has many UPS and DOWNS,

but it can never be STRAIGHT,

that's what makes it STAND OUT.



It tries AGAIN and AGAIN,

to become LESS and LESS steep,

then eventually turns into FLAT land,

finally gaining VICTORY.
