In Every ones life there will be a particular proverb or poem which comes across our mind whenever we are in uneasy situation. One among the proverb which keeps me postive and hard working is "Play until your die, let you sleep in your grave yard". This proverb keeps me to work hard, everytime i felt energyless it gives me more power to move on.
In poem categray I like william words worth lines
" The woods are lovely dark and deep
But I have promise to keep
And miles to go before I goto sleep
And miles to go before I goto sleep "
This poem gives the whole meaning of life.
Friends you too have may cross some energetic proverbs and poems in your life, share those. Looking forward for variety of golden words.

My favorite inspirational poem is The Starfish Poem.
Once upon a time there was a wise man who used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had the habit of walking on the beach before he begun his work. One day he was walking along the shore. As he looked down the beach he saw a human figure like a dancer. He smiled to himself of someone who would dance to the day. So he walked faster to catch up.
As he got closer, he saw a young man and the young man wasn't dancing, but instead he was reaching down to the shore, picking up something and very gently throwing it into the ocean. As he got closer he called out, "Good morning! What are you doing?" The young man paused, looked up and replied, Throwing starfish back in the ocean." I guess I should have asked," why are you throwing starfish in the ocean?"
"The sun is up and the tide is going out, And if I don't throw them in they'll die." "But, young man, don't you realize that there are miles and miles of beach and starfish all along it. YOu can't possibly make a difference!"
The young man listened politely. Then bent down, picked up another starfish and threw it in the sea, past the breaking waves and said- "It made a difference for that one." The author is listed as Loren Eisley on some source and unknown on others. Either way I find it to be a source of encouragement and strength.

I really like Proverbs 3:5,6 where it tells us to trust in God with all of our heart and to not lean upon our own understanding. A lot of the time we think we know things, or that we understand the big picture when we really don't So that always reminds me not to trust in myself but God.
