The document discusses the negative consequences that result from only doing things halfway or half-heartedly. It provides numerous examples where attempting tasks or activities with only half the effort leads to undesirable outcomes, including embarrassment, deprivation, failure, or harm. The overall message is that living life half-heartedly will guarantee failure, and one must fully commit to be successful.

1. HALF HEARTED
When I wore a pant with only half a button; I had to abashingly clutch it with both
hands; every time I rose from my seat,
When I sat under only half a tree; the pugnacious rays of the Sun unsparingly struck
me from all quarters,
When I wrote only half a line; I found encompassed with overwhelming bankruptcy;
as my neighbors filled in the rest of the amount; and made merry till eternity,
When I ate only half the food; my stomach initially felt nice; but cried incessantly for
the remainder of the night; when struck with pangs of starvation and hunger,
When I walked in only half a shoe; I felt obnoxious pebbles tickle my feet; barbaric
thorns infiltrate into my flesh every second,
When I boarded only half a plane; I found myself in my coffin soon; as it stormed
ruthlessly into the ocean a few minutes after taking off,
When I read only half the advertisement; I found myself sweeping the corridors of a
multinational company; which I had visited; presuming to become a senior employee,
When I saw only half the dream; I felt bereaved and deprived the entire day to follow;
as I yet and fervently awaited for the princess to arrive,
When I chopped only half the tree; I initially lazed blissfully under its shade; but soon
found the remaining monstrous wood; tumble down towards my skull with a creaking
& thunderous noise,
When I bathed only half my body; there were people laughing at me on every corner
of the street; as some part of me was as black as coal; while some was pearly white,
When I cried only half a tear; my eyes metamorphosed to swollen and black; and I
found it exceedingly difficult to keep them open and sight,
When I closed only half the door; the thieves entered my dwelling merrily in the
night; stole with gay abandon; what they had always dreamt of,
When I dug the foundation to only half of its depth; the building collapsed like a ball
of soft cotton on the very next day; with the slightest draught of wind kissing its
exteriors,

2. When I gave only half a punch; my adversary thought as if I was cuddling him; and
wasted no time in pulverizing me to raw dust; to blend with the soil,
When I penned down only half the book; the audience burnt my effigy in volatile fury
on the streets; being severely anguished at being deprived of the ending,
When I heard with only half my ear; the ferocious lion tore me apart to pieces; as I
wholesomely unaware when he furtively crept from behind; and capsized me by
my collar,
When I swam using only half my arms; the perilously swirling waves of the ocean
eventually drowned me to the bottom; and I was squelched to raw pulp by the
ominously gliding shark,
When I quelled down only half the fire; the smoldering flames gradually gained
impetus in the night; viciously charred every part of my body; including the entire
forest,
When I loved only half a girl; I was never able to procreate my progeny in this world;
miserably dithered to continue the chapter of existence,
And when I lived life only half hearted; I failed at every step I took; and success
always seemed a mountain above; even after I had clambered the
previous one.
