The results were more than embarrassing nonetheless....

Reach for that gold 
Give it your best 
Put yourself in the driver's seat
Build your world with success 
Continue to study
That is how you get ahead 
Follow along that course 
And fill your mind instead...

As if I'm a toothpaste
Life tries to squeeze me
To get every last drop.
Held in its tight embrace
Life tries to tease me
With success or flop.
Holding onto life will release me
Nothing ever seems to come easy....

If things look good,
more of the same
is the rule of the game.

If they appear bad,
take your chances,
make drastic changes.

Do not tinker with success,
act when you have a mess,
that is just common sense!...

Coconut, coconut
Brown and hairy
Trying to crack you 
Is bloody scary

Holding you gingerly
And fairly afraid 
I set to with gusto 
Wielding a blade 

And once I succeed 
I'm flush with success.... 
But I see you've shattered  
Into a helluva mess...

With success I feel joy,
there is great gratification with succeeding,
I enjoy.

I feel the glee;
fulfilling of promises bleeding,
the key.

Help !
More work needing;
Yelp !

With success I feel joy,
fulfilling of promises bleeding;
Yelp !...

To be successful at what you do
you’ve got to have the wright attitude
With success there is always failure
so, you can learn from ones’ aptitude

When you compete for juicy steaks
there always could be, a slight defect
Let’s face it, we all make mistakes
as no one can be, that perfect...

Love is like a pair of shoes
If it does not fits you
You feel discomfort and in pain
If it fits you, you're at peace
You can walk and run with ease
The feeling of comfort
Leads you to where you want to be
If there are steeps to climb
It's easy for your feet to move
And arrive your destination with success....

Raising children

Is the loftiest and bravest of human endeavors

For

It requires a life filled with:

Constant battles, 

Ceaseless agonies, and

Perpetual sacrifices,

Without knowing, if the efforts made, will be 

Crowned with success or not!

May your new year be bright and filled with success
May you have good health and be at your best
May you just be happy, just be blessed
In this brand new year

I hope your days are always filled with sunshine
I hope your nights are just so sweet and fine
I hope new mem’ries aren’t far behind
That you’re filled with cheer...

Where I live?
It screams out silence
It changes with us
It grows with success
It treats us as free people.

Where you live?
It could be the best place ever
It could be anything
It could be everything
It could be where I live.

When we compared them
I would lose always.
If I lived
It wouldn't matter
I want to live in your heart forever....

E-ach dream is no easy peasy, 
T-riumph can't be without strife; 
H-ard-earned victory
E-manates from ardent
L-ife.

C-oming up with success
A-lways needs much vigor; 
B-ecoming self-actualized person
R-eally requires full fervor.
E-arly thirtieth of July, 
R-oad ahead compels your energy; 
A-nother aim or goal is indeed no easy peasy...

M-oment to shine 
A-ims to meet the better day; 
E-arly twenty-sixth of May, mist and fog fade away. 

A-bout the time of excellence, 
V-igor is clearly shown; 
E-nthusiasm and energy 
R-emain as the fervor has grown. 
I-t's time to come up with success, 
L-oss won't make you feel fine; 
L-ife of arduous toil takes 
A-nother moment to shine....

Off in the misty distance
I hear a hungry woodpecker
Hammering with his head.
This omnivorous, opportunist
Breaks the silence of the morn
With his rat-a-tat-tatting
As if knocking on a door.
His persistent pecking
Will end with success
When he excavates
The hapless insect
A meal deservingly gained
But the silence won’t remain
Because he'll begin all over again....

The planet doesn't need more successful people
it needs peacemakers, healers, restorers,
storytellers and lovers of every kind
It needs people who live well in their places
people of moral courage willing to join the fight 
to make the world, habitable and humane
Qualities that have little to do with success
 as we have defined it to be. 
?? David W. Orr, Eco Literacy...

They say people fail because they give up when they are so close to success.

But people that succeed tend to seek more success, 
so do they recognise success if they are ever reaching for it? 

I feel I shouldn't give up,
I fear I wont identify success. 

So unfamiliar with success, yet so familiar with not giving up.

What is success?
Maybe it's going despite failure....

She urgently needed to pooh
No paper, what should Eileen do
She took off her drawers
And used them of course
Then disposed of them down the loo

Her knickers then blocked up the drains
Some plumbers found brown stained remains
So when you're using a loo
Just flush wee, paper and pooh
It's easy, folks should use their brains

Inspired by a story on sky news

* This is the conclusion of my today's trilogy: 1) Humanity's Pride, 2) Humanity's shame and 3) At Last!

** The rescue operations to save the twelve children and their trainer that were trapped inside a cave in Thailand have been completed with success. Man has acted this time  as God's true creation!...

The trademark was set to reach and to beat
challenge is accepted to achieve the feat
the reward is glamorous- that is the seat
enticing to the Lion is the captured meat
knows its class and never will settle for wheat
gathering the harvest, deserving to eat
crossing the huddles and facing the heat
tasting such a good life definitely needs a repeat
the road was piercing with lots of defeat
but this story ends with success so neat....

Sometimes I wonder what's ahead
A life booming with success
Or one composed of dread
Maybe I'll be famous
And impress simply by being bodacious

Life is full of wonder and fear
So much so, sometimes I wish I could click my heels
and disappear.

I always act rad
even when I am a source of all sad
You might say it's an act
Maybe you'd think I'm fake
But that is nowhere near fact.


(This is kinda weird but it sort of rhymes so...)...

Only to be fit 
You will cherish together
You'll live forever. 

Suitable has nothing to do with success and failure. 
But knowing that's not suitable, you will surely fail.
Suitable is not unilateral decision. Nor can communication be established. Natural fit, comfortable, communication is easy. You can spend long speeches, but comfortable afternoon with right person. It takes a lot of effort to sneak from the wrong person to a right love....

C-an't-miss move is done, 
A-iming to win the battle; 
S-atan's army is all over, 
S-o be vigilant against the peril.
A-s the can't-miss action
N-ever fails in the fight; 
D-ay fifteen of warm July, 
R-eady-made plan sets things
A-right.

V-ery certain measure
E-nds the war with success; 
N-egative thinking turns
I-nto optimistic process.
D-evice a surefire armor, to gain the crown of bliss; 
A-n eternal life is yours, for your faith is can't-miss....
