Paraphrase the following poem in six to seven sentences:
Do you wish the world were better?
Let me tell you what to do:
Set a watch upon your actions.
Keep them always straight and true;
Rid your mind of selfish motives
Let your thoughts be clean and high:
You can make a little Eden
Of the sphere you occupy.
Do you wish the world were wiser?
Well, suppose you make a start
By accumulating wisdom
In the scrapbook of your heart
Do not waste one page on folly;
Live to learn and learn to live
If you want to give me knowledge
You must get it ere you give.

Dear Student

One can choose to make one's dwelling a paradise, if one makes an effort. Also, he ends the poem by talking about ways to make the world wiser. He says one should gather wisdom in one's heart and not behave foolishly.
