what advice does the poem "a psalm of life" conclude with?
GooseBumps123:
A Psalm of Life' by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow describes the purpose of life, and how one should handle the sorrow and struggles along the way. The poem begins with the speaker contradicting a listener who wants to explain life to him as a matter of number and figures.
Longfellow uses a rousing, relentlessly enthusiastic tone in this poem to galvanize his readers to act now. He does this, first, through the use of many exclamation marks, which add emotional intensity to his verse and also act as strong stops at the end of lines, causing us to pause and absorb what he says.

In this poem, Longfellow encourages us to live life to the fullest extent. We only have one life and soon enough will be in the grave, so what we do now matters. For example, if we are meant to create, we should remember that:
Art is long, and Time is fleeting
Therefore, we should dedicate ourselves to our art right now, without waiting.
Likewise, if we are called to be soldiers in any way, we should jump into action fully and bravely.
Finally, we need to remember and take encouragement and inspiration from the great men (and presumably women) who lived before us. Their lives left "footprints" that we can follow—these footprints point us on a path towards success. We, too, if we strive and are fortunate, can leave behind us other footprints for people to follow.
