 Chapter 1 – Good Morning

Good Morning Poem Summary:-

“Set a goal that makes you want to jump out of bed in the morning.” 
The above quote by Brian Tracy implies that you should set your objectives or goals in
such a manner which push you to jump out of bed every morning. This indicates that
you should always start your day with a grateful and generous heart in the morning. 

Morning is the best time of the day when the mind is fresh and more receptive to new
ideas. Likewise, the above Good Morning poem also indicates that it is during the early
morning when the sky is bright with sunshine, a light breeze is blowing where birds are
chirping, bees are buzzing and trees and grass are fresh and green. 

The Good Morning poem then goes on to say that every morning is the dawn of a new
day when a child wakes up with fresh hope of enjoying the day and ready to go out and
play.
Although the above poem is for young learners, it was written with the intent that every
person should welcome the morning which is the advent of a fresh new beginning.
