To Whom Do You Serve? - A Poem by M.N. Hopkins

Oh, such tenderness

Within the human spirit

To whom do you serve?

©  2019  M.N. Hopkins

Note:    The first two verses of this poem were inspired and came directly to me a few days ago after watching a movie in which one of the main characters was a very sweet, sensitive and kind person which is a rarity in our world of socially engineered mental illness and a long list of genders.   I tried 4 different versions of the 3rd line but none were right in my mind.  I thought to have patience and wait for a week or even a month if necessary and had faith the final verse would come to me eventually.   While walking today, the 18th of March, 2019 the words came to me.  Luckily, I carry paper and pen on me for occasions as this.   I wrote the entire poem out and published it today, the 18th of March 2019 in the haiku style of poetry.

11 Quotations from Bruce Lee

11 Fantastic Pieces Of Advice From Kung Fu Master Bruce Lee

InspireMore Staff       11 January  2015


Bruce Lee was not only a karate master, he had a pretty good outlook on life.  Here are some of his best quotes.

1. Be Yourself. “Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, do not go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate it.”

2. Admit Your Mistakes. “Mistakes are always forgivable, if one has the courage to admit them.”

3. Don’t Waste Time. “If you love life, don’t waste time, for time is what life is made up of.”

4. Go With The Flow. “Notice that the stiffest tree is most easily cracked, while the bamboo or willow survives by bending with the wind.”

5. Be Slow To Anger. “A quick temper will make a fool of you soon enough.”

6. Stay Humble. “Showing off is the fool’s idea of glory.”

7. Train Hard In Whatever You Do. “I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.”

8. Live For More Than Yourself. “Real living is living for others.”

9. Focus On Endurance. “Do not pray for an easy life, pray for the strength to endure a difficult one”

10. Develop Love Constantly. “Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.”

11. Remain Positive. “As you think, so shall you become.”
