You Are The Product Of Yourself ... By Pablo Neruda

Don’t blame anyone ...
Never complain about anyone or anything
Because fundamentally you have made what you want in life ...


Accept the responsibility of educating yourself ...
And the courage to accuse yourself of failure ...

The triumph of the truthful (real) man
Rises from the ashes of error ...

Never complain about your poverty, your loneliness, or your luck ...
Take courage and accept, that in one way or another
They are the result of your actions and the evidence of what has to be overcome ...

Do not be embittered by your own development
Nor impose it on another ...
Accept yourself now, or you will forever continue
To justify yourself like a child ...

Remember that any moment
Is good for beginning
And that nothing is as terrible as to be untrue to one’s professed principles (to halt) ...

Do not forget that the cause of your present is your past ...
Just as the cause of your future is your present ...

Learn from the strong ones ... 
From the bold ones ...
Imitate the brave ones ... 
The lively ones ... 
The victors ...
Those who do not accept situations ...
Those who overcome in spite of everything ...

Think less about your problems and more about your work ...
And your problems
Without nourishment
Will die ...

Learn to be born from pain
And to be greater than the greatest obstacles ...


Look in the mirror at yourself
And you will be free and strong
And you will cease to be a puppet of circumstances
Because you yourself are your destiny
And no one can replace you in the building of your own future ...

Wake up in the mornings to see
And to breathe the light of dawn ...


You are part of the life force
Now wake up, struggle ahead and make up your mind
And you will triumph in life ...

Never think about luck ...
Because luck is the excuse
Of the failures ...
