Quote: A man can fail many times, but he isn’t a failure until he begins to blame somebody else. John Burroughs ________________________________________ Inspired by life’s goals, winners are intuitively aware, A loss is but a steppingstone, not a reason to despair; Again and again, with certitude they play the game, For triumph, they envision, is written in every name. They never seek to blame others, for own mistakes, Instead, they course-correct, averting heart-breaks, Re-learning, deep in introspection, as they re-assess; Ameliorating ways of failures, reaching for success. When life is perturbed in adversities, they fear not, Cognizant~ anything worthwhile must be hard-fought; Summoning conquering ways, every failure taught, To attain ultimate milestone, reveries of victory sought. They accept, they advance, when things go wrong, Strumming theme winsome, emanating from life’s song, Echoing a pledge revered, treasured for quite long; Avowing~ to them, the reigns of future shall belong. Dreams of passion, dreams coveted, refuse to die, For resolutely their objectives, driven believers vie; Until triumphantly, bells-elated, of success chime, Trumping sad sighs of failures, defeated over time.

So many play the blame game.I've learned through several hard knocks not to fear adversity but to face it head-on, and you're so right. So many great entrepreneurs do learn from their failures and refuse to blame, with unyielding determination, letting victory be the ultimate prize. This is a great, well-thought-out poem of yours, dear Vijay...Hugs

Vijay, Found something to hold on to in a poem called Blame. Seems all worthwhile things are never easily obtained. Have enough fulfilled in the journey, life's destination is waiting all the same. -Richard

"Anything worthwhile must be hard-fought. I very much agree with you Vi. A great piece this is. Putting the blame on others makes us weak. I love when people take responsibility for what they did, regardless of whether they are proud of it or not. Acceptance is a step forward to success.

your poem is filled with wisdom and insight about overcoming failure rather than blaming. I especially liked: ever seek to blame others, for own mistakes, Instead, they course-correct, averting heart-breaks, Re-learning, deep in introspection, as they re-assess; I like your poetic style and voice. Best wishes with the contest...enjoy your evening, Sara

There must be a contest about this topic because I have seen several on this topic. Great ideas you have about the subject. It is hard to say that we have failed, made a mistake, or just plain sinned, but we are all subject to it and the sooner we accept our mistake and learn from it the better off we are. Trying to change ourselves with God's help and direction works out for the best. Thanks for sharing this one with us and for dropping by my page. Sara K
