You want success, don’t you?
Study hard! Cram!
Go to University.
Pass your exam!
It’s a piece of paper, that counts.
Cleaning? You’re cleaning? That’s poor!
Try harder.
You need a respectable job and more.
Teaching? Never saw you as one of them.
Get out of your comfort zone.
It’s the bottom-line that counts.
Moving interstate? Why can’t you work at home?
Ooh, you need a boyfriend.
He’s not right, give him the flick.
He’s nice, when are you getting hitched?
You’re engaged? That’s a bit quick.
You’re married! Congratulations! What about kids?
Hmmm, you need to lose weight.
Sure you’re not pregnant?
Better travel first, mate.
A house, you need a house. Location, location, location.
Save your dough.
Go on strike, get more.
Deposit, mortgage, life insurance—nest-eggs, you know.
Keep busy and if you’re not, look busy.
You’re too busy, get rest.
What? No friends?
Get a life, get some zest.
You’re not well. See, I told you so.
Too many toxins.
Take these vitamins.
Pills won’t work.
Diet and exercise.
Paleo
Pilates
Low carb
High sugar
Too thin
Too fat
Too much
Not enough!
Keep busy, save, work hard…Aargh!
