DIDACTIC: "10 OF 10 FOR 10/10" BY YUSHAB ABOLORE

One of ten, always strive to learn,

Education is where the wise discern,

With knowledge, you'll unlock your mind,

Solve problems, and solutions find.

Two of ten, stay strong and healthy,

Exercise, eat well, keep your body wealthy,

The mind can only prosper when the body is sound,

Be fit, feel good, never let your health down.

Three of ten, always show respect,

Treat others how you want to be met,

Be humble, kind, and courteous to all,

Your character is what people recall.

Four of ten, passion drives purpose,

Find what you love, let your heart surface,

Never stop dreaming, you must remain driven,

Believe in yourself, let your passions be given.

Five of ten, always have a plan,

Goals and targets, you must scan,

Be prepared, plan and prioritize,

A successful life, you must organize.

Six of ten, lead and communicate,

Be confident, take charge, and articulate,

A leader must listen, learn, and motivate,

Communicate clearly, and success will gravitate.

Seven of ten, continuous improvement,

Develop your skills, it's your personal movement,

Never stop growing, always improve,

Learning new things, it's your personal groove.

Eight of ten, integrity is a must,

Be honest, fair, and inspire trust,

Do the right thing, in the face of adversity,

Integrity is the foundation of all prosperity.

Nine of ten, laugh and have fun,

Take pleasure in life, enjoy the afternoon sun,

Life is short, make the most of every day,

Laughter is the medicine, come let’s play.

Ten of ten, believe in yourself,

Embrace your strengths, and rekindle your wealth,

Nothing is impossible, your potential is endless,

Be confident, determined, and fearlessly relentless.
