| Dye your nails with the flowers Of the Garden Balsam, Dye your mind with the words Of your parents' advice. Polish your jewelry So it doesn't get rusty, Polish your mind Not to become a dropout. The guide is the North Star For ships sailing on dark nights, And the only guide for me Is my beloved parents. Accomplishments bring prosperity For a long time in your life, Flourish forever For your descendants to live long. Everything can be realized If you have wishes and drive, Nothing can be realized If you are dull or idle.
