One thing at a time

My father taught us this poem during our childhood. In the poem, he made sure that we learn and explained us the meaning of it as part of our growth. I also made some efforts to embed this poem as part of my kid's growth. Here is the poem : 

Work while you work,
Play while you play,
To be useful and happy,
That is the way.

All things you do,

Do with your mind,

Things done by halves, 

Are never done right.

One thing at a time,

And that done well,

Is a very good rule,

As many could tell.

Moments should never 

be trifled away,

So, work while you work

And play while you play.
