Poem about a turtle

How many problems do you have?

How difficult are they?

How much weight are you carrying on your back today?

Do this.

Do that.

Do something new every day.

You can't go wrong at work.

You can't go wrong at home.

You must not eat everything.

You must not drink anything.

Oh, how difficult it all is!

And imagine how it would be if in addition to all the daily problems,

you carry your house on your back!

Imagine you are a turtle.

You have 30 steps.

Each one is as tall as you are.

You carry the house on your back.

You need a lot of strength for each step.

On the 29th step,

you slip and fall on the first one.

What can you say without crying?

So appreciate your big and small problems,

because maybe you are not aware of how many heavier and bigger problems someone else is carrying...

On their backs.

Sincerely, turtle.
