We not to stay a float

We not to stay a float 
and be carried away like a wooden log, 
and get lost , and get rotten, and get destroyed

but 
we to learn the art of life, 
to swim, to dive deep, to come out , 

and to reach the shore against all the odds, 
even agaist the flow tides, and all the obstructions and difficulties 
and be a success in every sense
