The Theory

Every task you perform could be a success
It is when you set a goal and achieve nothing less

It requires you and all your senses, including your will
It asks you to bear all obstacles, be it a mountain or a hill

To emerge successful, passionately combine sweat and blood
Charge against suppression, sternly shake off the mud

Keep yourself strong, for all your wars are not yet fought
Because something like success just cannot be bought

It is your decision to define your own success
Let someone else do it for you and you’ll end up a mess

Forego unneeded pressure, as it adds to stress
Lead life with strategies, like a good game of chess

Lead life with everything planned, prevent the suspense please
Or you’ll live it like a heartbeat playing against piano keys

Carpe Diem – that means seize the day
Grab your opportunity, don’t let go no matter what they say.

But remember:
Proving to yourself, that you are a winner
May induce over confidence. And that could be a success killer.

Remember kids, having a luxurious lifestyle may not be success
When you are satisfied with yourself, then you may achieve ultimate bliss

Success may not be standing first in a race
It is the feeling of giving it your best no matter your place.
