Success

To achieve ones goals
without saying no
to a lifetime spent
with many regrets

of Missed opportunities
and failed relationships
with heartache and pain
to guide you on the way

And face those foes with
determination and vigor
to look back and say
I know I can do better

To focus and visualize
the future with optimism
and rejoice in life
success will be there for you.

Aspire to Dream
 
Climb the mountain of hope
To reach your cloud of dreams
Traverse the clear blue sky
To tread your chosen path
Shoot as a shooting star
To aspire as to who to be
Do not fall as cold wet rain
That washes away your soul
But drift as pure white snow
Touching lives with your grace
Then shine out as strong as the sun
A reflection upon yourself.

A dream
To reach
A dream
To achieve
Is there
Within your grasp
If you believe
You'll reach
Your dream
Your dream
You will achieve.

A sea of dreams
Awash with hope
Surfing the waves
Of one's ambition.

SUCCEEDING

When all my plans are come to naught

And nothing works the way it ought
When I haven't found what I sought
What I know's, not what I thought

I find that if I smile, not pout
Choose to laugh, instead of shout
I never lose, I have no doubt
Success is failure, inside out

Creativity!  

 

The first, second and third rule of success are

Creativity, creativity, creativity

It’s no use trying to be obtuse

Or be overly crude

For creativity requires

A smooth conscious mood

Otherwise the important

And the sublime, could be

Affected by the wrong attitude.

 

Success may disappear

Deep into the bowels

Of the vernacular

And poetry will wither and die

And the essence of the story

Will be lost to obscurity

As for the song, well, Verdi once said

‘Kill me by disembowelment

Or even torture me with a red-hot poker

But, just don’t let one filthy verse

Sully my opera.’

Mental Health

I started work on my 15th birthday.  The success was that I learned so many various kinds of work duties.

Unfortunately my health declined at the age of 19.  I lost many years of my life, but I put up a fight and succeeded to get through as best as I could.

The achievement is that now I can stand up on my own two feet.  My friends have taught me to overcome and manage problems.  I also learned that I can help others to see that you can come through, no matter how bad it gets, when you trust yourself and love who you are.

Success

     causes stress

For when I suck seed
     I cannot fly like a bird.
     I remember the third
          time I tried
             I vie-d
        with others to no avail
      No hail
                      the He
                                 ro for me

    in fact

       If I may be so bold
              among the firmament
               My sole (soul) achievement
                    has been
                        getting old.
