"Whatever work, big or small
A man intends to do must be done
Doing the same with full strength and wholeheartedness
Is a quality that can be learned from a lion."
When you commit to doing something, do it with a sharp intellect and be focused.
This kind of Focus, Intensity, and strength makes a person a good leader
"A wise man should restrain
His senses like a crane
And accomplish his goals after
The due inspection of the place, time, and ability.
Start a goal after a careful review of yourself and the goal.
Your goal should lie with your values.
'A wise man is one who has his senses controlled '
Having a focused mind is essential.
"To wake up early
To take a bold stand in a fight
To share anything evenly with relatives
And to own one's own bread through hard work
Are the things one can learn from a rooster."
He is also unafraid to fight for what he wants.
Many people don't fight for their rights but one should always fight for the things that contain his right
One should always share his happiness, wealth with each other.
Also, he fends for himself and doesn't depend on someone else for his food.
"Making love in private
Boldness, storing away useful items
Watchfulness and not trusting anyone easily
These five qualities have to learn from a crow."
One should be bold in one's outlook and should not worry about what others think.
A crow also does not trust others easily.
Better safe than sorry should be your principle.
"A glutton but content with small
Deep sleeper but is awake at short call
Faithful to the master and bold
Take six virtues from the dog's fold.
The lesson to learn- Aspire for more yet be happy with what one has.
He is faithful to his master.
Always be honest.
" Though tired, a donkey carries his load
Indifferent to heat and cold
Grazes away with ease
Learn from the donkey these three qualities."
But everyone has something to teach us.
A donkey is a beast of burden and carries heavy loads on its back. After some time the loads might hurt him or he feels pain but still, he doesn't stop.
He does not care about anything.
He is an endurant animal.
He doesn't bother about what he eats. He grazes on whatever is available.
Same as that
A person should be happy with himself.
