Live your life according to your status
Then you will not be tired
Use only what you have
Don't force, don't push, you will not suffer, believe me
Then you will only be happy
Live your life according to your status
Then you will not be tired
Use only what you have
Don't force, don't push, you will not suffer, believe me
Then you will only be happy
