Everyone Has Flaws

I don't crave to come off as arrogant or conceited. 
However, as I've come to realize, no one is ceded 
Is it a matter of money or power and control?
Which one do you prefer? Is it a blessing or a scold?
  
Making blunders is simpler than being perfect.
Strain not to endeavor to be flawless if you're upset
Essentially pick the right course and proceed 
But don't back at returning at a similar speed.
 
Everyone strives to be skilled with a high degree.
Everyone aspires to achieve fresh levels of efficiency.  
Determination is needed to achieve significance. 
Will all observe your battle yet never show a difference?

Crows are said to be drawn to the beauty of Peacock. 
As recently said, nobody is perfect, wouldn't you mock? 
Consider the possibility of both success and glory.
You must be strong and resolute in preventing tragedy.

Rama Balasubramanian Date: 8/9/2021 11:42:00 PM Your reasoning is perfect. If we understood that we are not perfect, accepted ourselves with all flaws, tried to improve upon them, our life will surely become better. Well penned friend.

Victor Buhagiar Date: 8/9/2021 10:50:00 PM Well argued. No one is perfect except the one who created us. Login to Reply Sotto Poet Date: 8/10/2021 7:04:00 AM That's true, Victor; our creator has pure perfection in everything. Blessings, my good friend

L Milton Hankins Date: 8/9/2021 5:58:00 PM So true, Lasaad, "Nobody is perfect" no matter how hard we try to be so. I would, on the other hand, like to "achieve fresh levels of efficiency." That seems to not be, also! Gee! Login to Reply Sotto Poet Date: 8/10/2021 6:57:00 AM Thank you, Milton, your approach is the best since faults can't stop us from trying to achieve our goals. Regards, dear friend.
