Yardstick of Success

Just as a seed is planted to bloom, so do we live to grow. With time, in due season, the seed germinates to a solid food that we eat for energy and to nourish our bodies. Similar to what is obtainable in life is our daily struggles to survives, live and succeed.On what platform it is done is based on your yardstick of success.

           As summarized in my short poem:

            
            Yardstick of Success

           

           Nothing is already made in life,

           You make it to be ready for life,

           My total being rest in the cause

           Of where I stand;

           Pleasures can be relived, the quality

           Of time cannot be bought again. 

           A being should not be thought of,

           As material to be bent;

           

           As the rain dropped hard on my roof

          I chased that paper so aloof,

          Then realized it has always been wet.

          Lord, prepare me so a well,

          Oh! Latter rain…….

          Bless the grain.

In essence, what may be success to person A may be different to what it is to person B.
