POEM:

Live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart.

Seek to make your life long and its purpose in the service of your people.

When you arise in the morning give thanks for the food and for the joy of living.

When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled

with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep

and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way.

Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

- Chief Crouching Tiger
