How to Be

A hundred years from now, no longer means your success in exams
Or anything as popular as you.
Nobody will care how many times you managed to beat the baseball game.
No matter how many times you play hooky.
Or what you can on the eleventh anniversary.
Nobody will remember that you've scored the highest score in computer games.
No one remembers a swimming pool at your house.
Nobody cares who won the race.
Nobody cares writing your chicken claw
Nobody cares if your painting is not the best
But, if you can make someone's life just a little better,
So they'll remember
That is considered essential.
