1 minute of sweat,
1 minute of pain,
All the struggle and sacrifices you have gone through,
It all comes back to this 1 minute.  
Remember, every 1 minute of our lives matter,

Every single activity of our life begins or end up within the time bound of 1 minute,
It is this 1 minute that we are able to breathe every single molecules of Oxygen in air,

This minute keep us moving in a moment we feel like we are doomed,
This  minute can change our lives entirely, if used correctly,
This minute can change and only change our lives more luxurious,
Forgone is this 1 minute, once expired,

Hitherto, during this limited time, you must work harder and don’t rest,
You must do your best no matter anyone says,
Because, this World is unpredictable and in very 1 minute of your time, it feels like you are loosing,

The difference between winning and loosing is how far you are willing to move a step in a minute,
Chance and chances lost in a minute ago can be regained in a minute ahead,
And this can only be, if this minute stays pivotal.

Everyone wants to win, but one thing for sure,
You are not here to participate,
You are here to win and win only, and nothing but win,
But, this 1 minute can never be neglected,
Cherish, flourish or perish!!!

And only if we are ready to move on with this minute,
We will surely leave a legacy!!!
Simply put, itch your name on the sands of time.


Best,
