Success

Success by: Tillie Mintz People say they want to be successful and go far in life But really, they don’t know what that includes They don’t realize how hard it is to be successful They don’t realize they can’t give up. People say they want to be the top of their class But really, they don’t study They don’t realize the time they need to put into it They don’t realize they have to try. People say they want to go to college and play a Division 1 sport But really, they never practice They don’t realize they should be practicing everyday They don’t realize that they have to work for it. People say that they want to go far in life While most people say this; they don’t mean it They don’t push themselves, they don’t want it as much as they say they do Yet people want to be so successful. Success is like a clock that keeps ticking You either do it right away Or wait for the last second But in order to be successful you have to do it the minute you see it. People can’t give up People have to try People have to work People can’t just hope for success, they have to want it.
