Stand not I for what I am,
Stand I for what I have achieved.
Like not people for what I am,
But like me for what I have conquered.
Respect me not people for what I am,
But respect me for my accessories acquired.
Love not people for what I am,
But love me for my traits cultivated.
I say, laud not people for what I am,
For laud my thee who makes me what I am.”
Then understand you shall what I am,
For I am when thee within is why I am.
- Dr. Hira
