Road To Success

So sad when folks resent other’s successes When so many offer them a warm handclasp, Any person, to succeed, must learn processes Then, success of their own is in their grasp. All roads to success are paved with hard work Commitment to a project and prizing the goal, Not to other’s efforts offering belittling smirks, But setting high standards and taking control. Successful folks never resent another’s prize But offer a helping hand and a pleasant smile, For every success is wonderful in their eyes They’ll help you succeed, going the extra mile.

Totally agree with you Milton ! Each trophy is won with a lot of hard work. So when we congratulate and feel genuinely happy over the success of others, success and joy will come to us ! When we feel resentment over others' success, pain and tormenting jealousy will be the outcome.Well said
