Quote: Know your value. Confidence breeds success. Act like the person you want to become, and people will start seeing you as that person.
Mark M Ford
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Those who embrace, avid ambitions of heart,
To them shall the reigns of future belong;
From charted path of passion, they never part
For earnest is the promise treasured for long.

O, how they strive, aiming for heavenly skies,
Flexing audaciously to conquer higher highs,
Fixated on life’s goals with purposeful eyes,
Focused mindfully, primed to win the prize.

On might of confidence when achievers roar,
On strength of willpower their dreams soar
Employing fortitude resolutely brought to fore,
Sailing to shores, dreamt in travails of yore.

Glumness they defy of shroud and sorrow,
Planting seeds of hope in despair of woes,
Aspiring bright horizons on dawns of morrow
Overcoming hapless shadows cast in throes.

O, the doers and believers instinctively know,
Hurdled with failures is the road to success,
As they drive dreary nights to mornings aglow,
Fueled by aspirations, dreams revered possess.

Vijay, this has something in common with your poem, "Blame." Success does require some determination and some salesmanship. And let's not forget that there's and element of luck in all of it! Sometimes the environment works against us...but sometimes the stars seem to align.

Great topic upon which you decided to write. Usually, success in life comes from setting goals and sticking to them. Much can be accomplished if a person does that. Thanks for sharing this one with us. Mark Ford was a very intelligent man in that he made that statement. Sometimes in life things happen to destroy a person's confidence that is totally outside of themself. It is not easy rebuilding what was lost again. Thanks for sharing. Sara K

This seems to me to be written in iambic pentameter. Great rhymes and imagery. To have confidence in one's dreams is necessary for success. Hopefully they take the righteous path.
