Stepping Stones to Success

“The best way to treat obstacles is to use them as stepping stones.”          Enid Blyton
**************************************************************

                                     Stepping Stones to Success


                        In the deep depth of their dreams many souls
                                Aspire to reach atop a scenic hill
                          Whence they can eye the vista as a whole
                        And view the landscape of the distant fields;

                        But when wild woeful winds of stark failures
                       Rock their spirit, hurling them to the ground
                          It is ripe time to change their behaviour,                    
                         Time to move step by step to get around,

                           Time not to try to reach the sky at once
                            But to make every step a success tale
                        Time along the stairs not at once to bounce
                          But to learn to confront the stormy gales
                             And over woeful wild winds to prevail.
