Description
Bad adviceTry a little harder
Run a little faster
Climb a little higher
That's what everyone always tells you
Be a little fairer
Act a little wiser
Think a little further
That's what you always tell yourself
Be a little cooler
Talk a little louder
Work a little harder
That's what everyone always tells you
Seek a little deeper
Breathe a little easier
Smile a little brighter
That's what you always tell yourself
Not "earn a little more"
But "penetrate to the core"
Not "be a real man"
But "do the best you can"
Not "make it to the top"
But "accept the occasional flop"
Not "never lack behind"
But "develop your mind"
These days everywhere you look
There's bad advice to the maximum
Another do-it-yourself workshop
Yet another you-can-make-it seminar
These days everyone you turn to
Has only bad advice in store for you
The cool "you'll get over it, buddy"
Or the insensitive "you're a loser anyway"
The good advice for a change:
Simply and thoroughly be yourself
No matter what or where or when or how
And never listen to bad advice

I so agree with that. I'm kinda crazy half of the time, but every time when I'm with my family and show that side I'm either ridiculed or told to 'Knock it off', though I have this small group of friends who don't judge me based on my actions, but my personality.

This is really nice.
The last few verses seemed more just speaking than a poem, and i'm not sure if it works.
BUT all the same, i love the start and the repeating of the last line in each verse
