Communication is best without squawking.
Just be civil, listen and try just talking.
--
Negative people don't even try.
They say, "Life's a bitch and then you die".
--
Positive people enjoy what life brings.
They can be happy with the smallest things.
--
The best way of surviving the rat race.
Be wise and maintain a slow and steady pace.

THE Texan in the Philippines.jpg

Howdy y’all. It’s me, ninong7 aka UJ aka John. Just a short intro about myself. I am a Texan that has retired in the Philippines. I moved to the Philippines with my wife back in May 2010. I am retired from the US Air Force. The music I like is mostly Classic Country and Classic Rock. I guess you could say that I am “Classic”. I play dominoes when I can find someone that will play, I play chess, cribbage, spades, hearts, Empire Builder, Rail Baron, Acquire and a few other games. I like to write poems and stories (although pretty novice) and I love learning about history, just about any history. I’m at home on my computer a lot but if I could afford to, I’d be traveling and documenting my travels to post in my blog. I hope to get to know a lot of you through PeakD and Discord.

Making noise doesn't solve anything, it rather aggravates it. It's all about being calculative and wise, that's how we should treat life: slow and steady.

Slow and steady wins the race they say, and communication doesn't just deal with talking endlessly. It is also about listening and understanding what's said.

You should try combining these into one poem I think it would work well.
