Success

To each their own interpretation of success

Though, what makes some think they are above the rest

when in every circumstance there is merit to be earned

for even those that lose the race learn

for life has many angles at which things can be perceived

and many many ways victory is achieved

tell me,

could a man rich with money and servants to his beck and call

withstand alone one night on the streets with no resources at all

Probably not. Success is not how one learns, wisdom is gained through failure; which is not failure at all in my book. I had to write my own too ;),
