How Do You See Success

When you sit in your office chair Always doing what you are told You wonder, is this all there is ‘Till the day you finally grow old? Does what you do really matter And you think, as you plod along You say that you’re not a success But this I say, you are so wrong… For when you help your fellow man Because they need a friendly hand Continue to stand by their side As time passed by like sifting sand Their days were made better by you When you made their load much lighter Count your success by your actions You’ll find your outlook much brighter. We can’t all be famous or rich In our lifetime here on this earth When your soul comforts another In Heaven’s where you’ll find your worth.

I must say I agree with your rationale Betty. None more so than when the world seems to be closing in and every day becomes more oppressive. Getting help from a friend or loved one, counts for a great deal in my life, and furthermore, I always try to reciprocate when I know a friend or loved one, is in dire need of help or comfort. Trampling over others to achieve success, accomplishes nothing, makes enemies and awards no merit whatsoever! Fondest regards. Denis.
