Do not neglect writing and turn to dance.
You have to strive and persevere to become a worthy employee.
Don’t waste your time laying nets for swamp birds.
Let go of the fishing stick and hunt for prey.
Spend the whole day writing with your fingers.
And spend your night reading the texts.
Be a friend of papyrus scrolls and whiteboards.
Those who master writing find it better than any other profession.
The practice of writing is sweeter than wine.
And it is more delicious than eating bread and beer.
And pompous by wearing new clothes.
It is more pleasant to smell the best perfumes.
To be a better writer for you than to inherit fields in the land of “Kismet” (Egypt).
Better for you than to have a cemetery in the “west” (cemetery).
