TIPS: Beyond the Classroom
TIPS: Beyond the Classroom
by Annette Sample
Take care of your physical
mental and emotional health
Get adequate rest
Build spiritual wealth
Indulge in what strikes your fancy, take stock
It’s all good, you’re no longer on the clock
Concerts, plays, art , hobbies and travel
Just let it go, let it go and unravel
Pace yourself, it’s no longer a race
No need to hustle, bustle and stress
There’s much to do and see, lose the rigidity
It’s only you that you need to impress
Sustaining yourself will be easier to do
Remember the golden rule, it’s all about you
Life still holds endless possibilities
Find your passion and make it a reality
