LIVE AND LET LIVE

Life is easier,
if you manage your time.

  If you can't do lock-up,
Don't do the crime.


  You get more done
If you focus on one thing.

  If you miss it,
You can grab it,

 on the upswing.


  Try to improve,

 by 1% every day.

BE LEGIT

No one is real,
We all have a dual face.

  Find someone who can,
Excite your taste.

Not the person.

  Money is the,

 Beast of Burden.

Is the one that can,
hurt you the most.
