The Right Path
I will
follow the path
you have laid out for me
if I wish to succeed, I have
no choice
Level up my friend
Increase in potential
You have succeeded
The way to success
Is stony and full of thorns;
We’ve to bleed, for sure.
When you want to achieve a great goal
Do not think that achieving is impossible
Such an attitude will make you damn weak
Believe that you can earn victory surely
Take all those relevant measures positively
And keep a record of all your great efforts
Chalk out a plan to fulfill your golden mission
Never bring a break to your sincere attempt
Do not convey that to everybody foolishly
As most of the people are not interested
They may even discourage you ignorantly
Analyze your skill and then you decide
If you feel that you can surely gain success
Plunge into the deal putting heart and soul
Have not a meek second-idea to dominate
Once you have firmly established your aim
Human beings are equally bestowed with skill
None is superior or great compared to another
Proceed ahead by exercising gifted intelligence
Reap rich rewards by deploying your genius.
A journey of a thousand miles
Begins with a single step
A challenge of great magnitude
Requires determination to accept.
The heart must be strong and brave
The mind must be focused and clear
For when the going gets tough
You must persevere to the end.
The courage to stay the course
And never give up the fight
No matter how hard the struggle
You must stand tall with all your might.
When the odds are stacked against you
And the road is long and hard
You must keep your eyes on the prize
And never let your spirit be marred.
For determination is the key
To unlock any door
It will help you reach the summit
And you'll never feel unsure.
Success
Short notice, but nevertheless focused.
Discouraged from all parts that reinvented me
Threw it away due to the detrimental pain and torture of the brain.
Here I was faced with a challenge couldn’t believe in myself.
Picked at the parts that create me
The parts that ate at me
Due to guilt left behind as I’m reminded back to the time, that moment
June 3rd, just wanted the success but yet holding onto discouragement
Wanting to be my best
Forgetting the rest
Using downplays and praises as my way through this phase.
God help me, bringing me to my knees 1 night before my biggest plead..
There and now I succeed.
Don't create competition,
Create collaboration,
Collaborate to celebrate,
Celebrate copious currency,
To correct your current circumstances..
Completely cease competition..
Cuss your contempt..
Its contaminate!!.
Its Crippled and crumple your credibility
Cultivate collaboration,
Constantly Connect & converse,
Certainly, the crowd will crown you
& call to congratulate you..
Time Marches On
Time marches on,
but things can change.
The flow of life is the same,
but we can spin away.
Find a place to abide;
a life to call your own.
Find a way to live;
a way to feel alive.
All the road blocks,
will guide your way.
Till you are strong enough,
to crush them all.
That path of least resistance,
is how the water flows.
Carving a river, a gorge,
a valley, and canyons deep.
Find the path,
that works for you.
Seek the way,
to grow and shine.
You are important.
You can make a difference.
As time marches on,
and you flow with it.
If at first you don't succeed,
so much for skydiving as a hobby.
A lot of reasons to cry
A lack of reasons to smile
Shall I cry
Or once again try
My heart is daunting
My mind is pondering
Time has ended
My luck has fainted
My mind has amended
But my innerself is not contented
Again I collapsed with my failure
Again I cried at my failure
But this time I won't lose hope
Its my last innings
I won't lose hope
Untill I keep working hard on my goal
I shall World hard excreedingly
And once again win monstrously
Then I shall have alot of reasons to smile
But none reason to cry
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
Life may grind you down, on a train you want to ride
when it’s not going your way, you don’t want a big slide
Motivation is on the cards, so you’re not going to hide
instead of falling down, you’d rather have lots of pride
To succeed in life, you have to have good mates
they are there when needed, not on skates
To respect those around you, you must find their fate
they help out when faded, not there for bate
To feed their life, you must appreciate
that they are not shaded, by having great mates
J-ust succeed in the end,
A-fter enduring the hard time;
N-ever give up finding
E-very mountain to climb.
B-elieve to succeed in the end,
A-im to taste the victory;
S-eptember twenty-ninth Friday
A-llows you to feel the glory.
L-et the shadows disappear,
L-et the beacon ascend;
O-pen your life to sunrise,
T-ill you succeed in the
E-nd.
(Austin, TX, 1955)
Mother writes me
From Korea
Ravaged by the war:
You are so blessed
Living in America
Land of peace
Land of plenty
I mumble:
Mother
I eat two raw eggs
In the morning
Three pieces of Wonder bread
For supper
To save money for tuition
I’m very hungry
I’m also very lonely
I eat my eggs and bread
Sitting in front of vanity mirror
To keep company
With a person in the mirror
But I’m determined to succeed
And make you proud
Please stay well until I return
