WHAT IS SUCCESS?

 

          WHAT IS SUCCESS?

          Before you read below an anonymous poem “What Is Success?”, look at       these quotes:

1.Don’t let your circumstances to hold you back. 2. Obstacles are inevitable, but quitting isn’t. 3. You don’t need to wait for permission to succeed. 4. Sometimes, success means being the first to fail. 5. Success is not final, failure is not fatal; it is the courage to continue that counts. 6. It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation. 7. The road to success and the road to failure are almost exactly the same. 8. You have to believe in yourself when no one else does..  9. When you have a dream, you’ve got to grab it and never let go. 10. The  only place where success comes before work is in the dictionary.

             HERE IS THE ANONYMOUS POEM MENTIONED ABOVE

            Success is speaking words of praise

            In cheering other people’s ways,

            In doing just the best you can

            With every task and every plan.

           

            It’s silence when your speech would hurt,

            Politeness when your neighbour’s curt.

            It’s deafness when the scandal flows,

            And sympathy with others’ woes.

 

            It’s loyalty when duty calls;

            It’s courage when disaster falls,

            It’s patience when the hours are long;

            It’s found in laughter and in song.

           

            It’s in the silent time of prayer,

            In happiness and in despair.

            In all of life and nothing less,

            We find the thing we call success.
