- To get ahead in the world / life is not about what we own, but what you can share with those who have nothing - to make choices whenever possible ..... own success is no pleasure .... if you do not have someone to share with :) - A wonderful poem, dear Kim - good luck in the contest ! - hugs // Anne-Lise :)
