Aw dis tɔch mi laif?
Mi sabi dat evritaim mi tri fa konk ar insist sey mi riyt, mi jus mek mad tinz wus. Wen mi laaf an jield, mi fain mor rispet, bot mi no wan admit am.
Wetin I mas du tude?
Tude, wen somwan tal am wid mi, mi go tri fa jield ar luk pass am fust bifo mi ansa bak.
The partial becomes complete; the crooked, straight; the empty, full; the worn out, new. He whose (desires) are few gets them; he whose (desires) are many goes astray. Therefore the sage holds in his embrace the one thing (of humility), and manifests it to all the world. He is free from self-display, and therefore he shines.
