1e generous: Invest in acts of charity. Charity yields high returns.
2Don't hoard your goods; spread them around. Be a blessing to others. This could be your last night.

4Don't sit there watching the wind. Do your own work. Don't stare at the clouds. Get on with your life.
5Just as you'll never understand the mystery of life forming in a pregnant woman, So you'll never understand the mystery at work in all that God does.
6Go to work in the morning and stick to it until evening without watching the clock. You never know from moment to moment how your work will turn out in the end. Before the Years Take Their Toll
7Oh, how sweet the light of day, And how wonderful to live in the sunshine!

9You who are young, make the most of your youth. Relish your youthful vigor. Follow the impulses of your heart. If something looks good to you, pursue it. But know also that not just anything goes; You have to answer to God for every last bit of it.
10Live footloose and fancy free - You won't be young forever. Youth lasts about as long as smoke.
