The Key To Success

Another exercise in metered-rhyme - I have been called a fanatical person, And teased about being “possessed,” And told that I focus too hard on perfection By struggling to offer “the best,” But I’m never satisfied coming in second, Or simply just - “staying abreast.” The market, you see, is competitor driven. You’re constantly put to the test. People are “picky,” and when, as it will be, Whatever you’re offering’s assessed, Try very hard to ensure that the people You’re meaning to please are impressed. Remember, when choosing the goods or the service In which you decide to invest… Even if all of your staff and employees Condemn you for being obsessed… Never abandon your pride or your purpose, And never lose sight of your quest, For - after the flood of intense competition - The victors enjoying the crest Are typically those whose intent and commitment Are greater than that of the rest.
