Becoming Successful

As a general rule
we are all alike 
with our faults and merits
abilities and drawbacks 
excesses and deficiencies 
talents and ineptitudes  

Successful becomes the one 
who discovers early his inclination 
focus his attention on it
works uninterruptedly 
is trained unceasingly and
unconditionally devotes himself to 
the advancement of his trade 
no matter what his trade 
happens to be!

I love the things I am good at and have worked hard to perfect them, but I also know I have a lot to learn- I know how little I know know- as the great philosophers have said. Hugs XX

A lesson that those wanting to succeed should read and take note of Demetrios. It is not easy but through your guidance in this piece it should make clear that these are essential attributes to have when trying to achieve their own success. A 7 for helping humanity and outlining the criteria for helping them succeed. Be blessed today my friend...

Being good at what you do is a source of pride--not everyone gets there. Well said my friend. Another lovely flower!

This is true, but we have to indicate the right course of action regardless if one or many are successful. Have a great Sunday my friend, Vijay!

So very true Demetrious, all you can do is give your best doing an honest day's work for an honest day's pay. Tom
