Success Comes From
Success comes from,
Hanging in there,
Not hanging around.
Success comes from,
Listening to what others are telling you,
Not what they are saying.
Success comes from,
Being a good neighbor,
Not from being one from hell.
Success comes from
Being an extra pair of hands when needed,
Not from being an extra voice others can do without.
Success comes from,
Celebrating the success of others,
Not from belittling it.
Success comes from,
Being a constant gardener,
Not doing jobs only the once and selling yourself as an expert.
Success comes from
Knowing when to lead and when to follow,
Not from leading a double life.
Success comes with,
Knowing you must keep trying, no matter what,
Not from staying on the canvas for the count, when others need you.
