Will Power

WILL POWER


If you do something half-heartedly

The results will turn out the same

If you're not being the best you can be

You have only yourself to blame

Everybody has willpower

Dig deep, I am not wrong

And when you find it hallelujah

Now you can be strong

All you need now is a goal

To reach where you should be

And when you're there, you'll be so glad

That you are now in the 5% minority

This 5% I speak about

Are the people who become a success

They are the ones who had goals

And put their will to the test

They are the ones who never quit

And always did their best

Have a goal, use your willpower

Yes, you have it in you

Be your best and never quit

And you'll be successful too!

Reminds me of the book 'Outliers' by Malcolm McDowell, though his analysis of successful people looks into race and hereditary success passed down onto the 5% minority from their wealthy parents. I myself hesitate on the rags to riches story which characterizes this country as being so equal and fair to everyone. In my mind, many many people out there have far more will power then I could ever muster in my luxurious middle class life, but they don't share in my success, at least not moneywise.

Simone, very, very good advice, it is always the intent behind the locomotion, that causes the commotion, of a good explosion, by using love's lotion. Sincerely, Moses
