To Be Successful

With skill in my hand,

And will in my mind,

Still I go ahead on these dates land,

Saying I will do and swearing on my land.

I work round the clock,

Fearing my mind would block.

I wish a beautiful jolly day,

It turns into a busman's holiday.

Keep working and working am I mad,

Ney! I am sanguine lad,

Pugnacious, belligerent, neither I,

Always unsuccessful why?

But still with skill in my hand,

I work with will in my mind.

Says my conscience,

The story of success is always bitter,

Keep cool and you will do better.

Never look back go your way,

Yeh! every dog has its day.

Two ways it splits always your way,

One's always difficult take it I say.

The others damn easy seldom busy,

Sooner it ends and drowsy and lazy.

Whoever you meet give them a smile

Distance decreases by mile,

Stand you there! think awhile,

Man, you are not an Isle.

Nature tries to kill, you resist,

Keep on and live just don't exist.

With skill in your hand,

Work with will in your mind.

Therefore, with skill in my hand,

I work with will in my mind.

Four days to live, live with zest,

Keep working, don't just exist.
